We recently connected with LeDarrion Bonner and have shared our conversation below.
LeDarrion, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
My purpose is to empower those that feel powerless! Show people that you don’t have to follow society just simply understand it and who you are! Many people get caught up in feeling like they need the validation of others for every aspect of life and that’s just not true! Everyone has a unique skill or thing about them but society is unruly and distracting way to make us forget who we were, are and could be! I’m here to encourage people remain confident and above the negativity of the world, no matter the personal situation, greatness is still a possibility!! Rather is be through fashion, quotes , mentoring or social campaigns, my mission is to bring an internal hope, self love and desire to get what’s deserved back to the people!
LeDarrion, 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?
I got into ownership after struggling with purpose and social injustice! Talking people through racism, corporate politics and self awareness on a daily basis while dealing with my own mental anguish gave me the confidence/foundation needed to make a difference! I took my knowledge and determination and applied it to my platform of “like minded” consumers! I used the trials and errors of corporate America to teach myself business/marketing! I’m most proud of myself for not giving up or giving in to society! Ben Haited is a branded movement for anyone trying to better themselves against the hate of society, and still has billions of people to reach!
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
Something I had to unlearn was trusting everyone! Through my experience attending multiple types of social events as a guest/vendor I’ve noticed on multiple occasions how the the event host/manager will come across uplifting and helpful only to find out they just wanted money! Small business events should mostly focus the small business’s in attendance and less about who’s hosting!! Working separately builds the host, working together builds the host and small business!
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
Best source of new clients for Ben Haited has been one on one at events or walking the popular locations in the DFW metroplex! When people see that I’m the exact person from social media and prefer realism over clout, it makes a lasting impression and 8 times out of 10, a sale as well! I’m bigger than logos on fabric💪🏾
