Happy Wednesday my friends! 

I have another special post to share with you today, continuing on in my Spotlight Series. Today, I'm sharing the story of Reasons Brown. I met Reasons back in August -I believe. He hosted Lootswaay Fest, which at the time I had no idea what to expect. As it turns out, it was concert featuring local artists and rappers. I ended up having such a good time! We will come back to this in a bit, but first I want to share with you his story. 

His journey has not been the easiest. Robert Charles Anthony Brown, was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He moved to NC to go to college. He attended NC Central for a while, but it ultimately did not work out and and one point he found himself homeless. Though he struggled, Reasons made sure to continue to stay in shape and focus on himself. "Staying in shape gave me clarity and purpose," he explained. In doing so, he found he was bettering himself and learned to create from scratch -which became a vital tool later in his journey.

That is how Lootswaay -Reason's clothing brand- came to be. Reasons would piece together looks for his friends. But ultimately it was an interest in fashion as well as the all too real aspect of having limited funds. I can relate! Fashion can be expensive, but it does not have to be. Reasons recognized this and made it his goal for Lootswaay. In fact on Instagram that is the description of the company; "The Bridge between Fashion and Finance." "I want to make clothes that are affordable," he told me, "as well as create a platform to talk about the financial aspect of it -including financial freedom. I want to see this go as far as it possibly can." I could not help but be excited for him. I mean, this is a man who pours his heart into his work and his energy is contagious! And he loves that! "For me, I want to inspire others to be dope daily," he said, "to be determined and be persistent every day." You can tell he means that. I recall at the last show, he was so excited. The energy was palpable. Every artist that showed up, he excitedly greeted them. When Vikee and I showed up, we both got hugs. He was all over the place making sure everyone was having a good time. That is someone with excitement, pride, and joy.

So, what inspires a man that inspires so many other people? There are several! Son, Jay-Z, and J Cole just to name a few. What? All musicians? Yes, well, Reasons wears many different hats. While there is the fashion aspect, he is also a very talented rapper. He raps about his experiences; feelings, emotions, and perspectives. He makes himself "vulnerable" and is able to better communicate feelings through his music than he may otherwise. Everything he does he puts his heart and soul into. Including raising his two-year-old son. "That is my biggest accomplishment," he grinned. 

So what is next for Reasons? If you're asking me, I'd say the sky is the limit! He was recently in Baltimore for schooling for his clothing line. He learned different types of sewing and is already planning for a line of new coats in time for Christmas.

At 27, Robert, Reasons Brown has overcome so much. Not just overcome, but excelled. He is a huge inspiration to me. Mainly because of his mind set. Don't get me wrong, he is extremely talented and I am in awe of that as well, but I love how he loves to include others and bring others up with him. I know that sometimes industries like fashion and music can be intense and competition can be fierce. Not for Reasons. "There is no hate in my spirit, lets be successful together," he said. And why not? 

That is why I will support him wherever he goes! 

Next up is another concert event. It is this coming Saturday. If you want to come out and support we would love to see you! $5 online and $10 at the door. But you will leave feeling excited and inspired! 

Special thanks to Reasons Brown for talking with me for this post! 

I cannot wait to see what comes next! 

​XOXO
