We were lucky to catch up with Sidawney Edwards recently and have shared our conversation below.

Sidawney, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Parents can play a significant role in affecting how our lives and careers turn out – and so we think it’s important to look back and have conversations about what our parents did that affected us positive (or negatively) so that we can learn from the billions of experiences in each generation. What’s something you feel your parents did right that impacted you positively.

My mother, played a pivotal role in shaping the person I am today. My mother, a God-fearing woman from Kingston, Jamaica, exemplified the values of hard work and determination. Despite the challenges she faced, including long and grueling work weeks, she always put in the effort to provide for our family, which included her elderly mother and her children.

The sight of my mother working tirelessly, regardless of physical exhaustion or challenging weather conditions, served as a constant source of inspiration for me. Her dedication and resilience taught me the importance of perseverance and instilled in me a profound respect for the value of hard work.

One of the most impactful lessons my mother imparted was the significance of education as a pathway to working smarter rather than harder. She emphasized the value of obtaining a college degree, which would open doors to a career and opportunities beyond manual labor. I am grateful for the sacrifices she made to provide me with the chance for a more secure and fulfilling life.

Through her actions and guidance, my mother shaped my work ethic, ambition. Her influence is evident in my approach to both life and career, as I strive to embody the same determination and resilience that she demonstrated throughout her life.

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 am Sidawney Edwards, the CEO of Lifestyle Clothing Brand. My journey of becoming a clothing brand owner began with my passion for sneakers, streetwear fashion, and entrepreneurship. I loved looking stylish while making money and saw an opportunity to do both. Growing up as a big sneakerhead with a penchant for high-end streetwear fashion, my friends and colleagues often sought clothing recommendations and outfit ideas from me. Since I was already influencing the fashion choices of those around me, I decided to turn my passion into a business.

The primary driving factor that has fueled the growth of our clientele at Lifestyle Clothing Brand is me leveraging my strong personal local presence. Being well-known for dressing well and having a passion for sneakers within the community has played a significant role. By establishing a reputation as a trusted source for fashion advice and outfit ideas, we naturally attracted individuals who resonated with our style.

Additionally, our exclusive clothing designs, crafted to resonate with our target audience, have been instrumental in drawing attention and building a dedicated customer base. We’ve focused on creating pieces inspired by sneakers, music, and the local culture of St. Petersburg, FL, reinforcing our brand’s connection to the community. This strategy has not only expanded our local customer base but has also contributed to word-of-mouth referrals and a strong sense of community around our brand.

Furthermore, we’ve found that collaborating with influencers, local artists, and musicians allows us to tap into new audiences and expand our reach organically. By aligning ourselves with individuals who share our values and aesthetic, we’ve been able to create authentic connections and attract customers who genuinely resonate with the Lifestyle Clothing Brand experience. This strategy not only drives sales but also fosters a sense of community around our brand, contributing to long-term customer loyalty and advocacy.

I am proud to have a strong local support base and repeat customers. My goal is to expand our customer base beyond the city of St. Petersburg, FL, reaching throughout the state of Florida. I want all our customers and supporters to remember that a great grind will change your life!!

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

The most effective source of new clients for Lifestyle Clothing Brand has been word of mouth from our current customers and supporters.
