Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jaylen Marks. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jaylen, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
I hope that a piece of me remains and lives through each child that I teach and mentor. Making the best decisions in life becoming a critical thinker while expressing their selves in the most creative way possible.
Jaylen, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
As a child I loved the underground graphic fashion world. The mixture of art and expressiveness through an outfit speaks volumes for a person without having to say a single word. I started my clothing line to be different set myself apart from others! I was so used to the “where did you get that from ?” Question that I decided to control the answer. Now when I get asked that question my response is “ I made it “.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
During my last two years of undergrad I had to run my clothing line business as well as reselling shoes while I worked two jobs. Task management and work load during college is what shaped me into the business minded person that I am today.
Can you open up about how you funded your business?
It just took one person to believe in me and my brand ! That person is my cousin who is more like a brother. His name is Jonnethan Sanders, he went in half with my on my first manufactured shirts that I designed helping bring my dreams to life !
