Due to the lack of arts programs in Black and Brown communities he decided to give them a creative outlet. His students are doing everything from bleaching shirts to distressing fabrics. Inside the class, you feel like you're walking amongst the future of fashion. When Carter was younger his mother sewed but he never learned until teaching himself later in life because he thought it was for girls. Carter is the definition of self-made. He designs his own samples, his shoes can only be found in his store, and says his sewing classes are all about passing on his blessings.This Episode:This episode goes high level into the conversation of our understanding of how Black creativity drives industries, plagiarism vs. influence, cultivating your design DNA, financing your freedom, recreating connections to the motherland, and overcoming the haunting of insecurities with rhythm, style, and grace.Featured Guest Contact:Website: https://siacollective.comInstagram: Devlin Carter (@sia_collective) • Instagram photos and videos 19 KEYS:He is a believer in the unlimited human potential, and he aims to help more and more people realize their full potential.
