We recently connected with Sheree Clay and have shared our conversation below.

Sheree, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

It came about in dark times when I lost my vision after having eye surgery. I kept thinking about humorous and funny things related to me not being able to see. I came up with Cloudi Vision Tees to inspire, to empower and to enlighten. And my business name implies how I see, Cloudy.
My own journey of transitioning to life with visual impairment in 2021 served as the primary inspiration for creating Cloudi Vision Tees. I felt a lack of representation and inclusivity in the fashion industry for visually impaired individuals and wanted to fill that gap.
The brand is unique in that it goes beyond just selling clothing; it empowers its customers by fostering a sense of belonging, confidence, and self-expression.
Through its visually inspired designs and empowering messages, Cloudi Vision Tees encourages individuals to embrace their unique experiences, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate their identity.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’m the Chief Visionary Officer and Creative Director of Cloudi Vision Tees, a brand dedicated to empowering the blind and visually impaired community through inclusive fashion and advocacy. My journey into this industry began after I experienced visual impairment myself in 2021 due to diabetes complications. This life-changing event inspired me to create Cloudi Vision Tees as a platform to challenge stereotypes, promote inclusivity, and empower individuals to embrace their unique experiences.

The inspiration behind Cloudi Vision Tees stems from my personal journey of transitioning to life with visual impairment. I noticed a lack of representation and inclusivity in the fashion industry for visually impaired individuals, and I saw an opportunity to fill that gap. Cloudi Vision Tees was born out of my passion for fashion, advocacy, and community building, with a mission to redefine beauty, accessibility, and empowerment within the blind community.

I am most proud of the impact Cloudi Vision Tees has had in empowering individuals within the blind community and challenging societal norms surrounding visual impairment. From receiving heartfelt testimonials from satisfied customers to witnessing the positive ripple effects of our advocacy efforts, every milestone and achievement is a testament to the resilience and strength of our community.

To potential clients, followers, and fans, I want you to know that Cloudi Vision Tees is more than just a fashion brand—it’s a movement. It’s about celebrating diversity, challenging stereotypes, and empowering individuals to embrace their unique vision of the world. Whether you’re visually impaired, a supportive ally, or simply someone who believes in the power of inclusivity, I invite you to join us on this journey of Cloudi Vision Tees, where every garment tells a story and every voice is heard.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

During a pivotal period in my life, I found myself facing a profound challenge that tested every ounce of my resilience. Following surgery in one eye, unforeseen complications left me without vision for an agonizing 7 and a half months, relying solely on my faith and inner strength to navigate through the darkness. In those moments of uncertainty and fear, I discovered a reservoir of resilience within myself that I never knew existed. Despite the overwhelming obstacles before me, I refused to succumb to despair, instead choosing to embrace each day with courage and determination. It was during this time that the seeds of Cloudi Vision Tees were planted, as I found solace and purpose in the idea of empowering others facing similar challenges. Today, as I reflect on that chapter of my life, I’m reminded that resilience isn’t just about bouncing back from adversity—it’s about finding light in the darkest of moments and emerging stronger, more empowered, and more determined than ever before. My journey is a testament to the power of resilience, and it fuels my passion to inspire others to embrace their own inner strength and shine brightly, no matter the circumstances.”
