Meet Amahd Manigault | Artist and owner of Royalty Made (Clothing Brand)

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amahd Manigault and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amahd, what’s your definition for success?
I define success by your reaction to an outcome. Are you satisfied, content, happy, relieved, do you feel accomplished? All of those should be the outcome/reaction of finishing a goal or overcoming an obstacle. Mostly everyones road to success is different. Getting out of bed this morning on your own could’ve been a hurdle toward success for someone. Creating your brand and presenting it to the world, selling your first product or getting your first client. How you react to conquering a goal or obstacle determines your success.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My artwork tells a story of my personal life or it is in reference to things that im influenced by . My artwork is thought provoking and moves emotions inside of you. I am now kicking off my brand Royalty Made. It expresses Nobility, Wisdom & Creativity. I’ve Curated two art shows so far on my own and currently writing a novel. The biggest thing I learned is it’s ok to take breaks from your craft. You don’t have to always make the next basquiat painting everyday. Learned the difference from being burnt out and artist block.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m not gonna even lie to yall, I been staying out the way. Going to work and going home and maybe a friends house here and there. The best I can say is that the art museum is very nice and west 6th street has a cool nightlife.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to my family for always supporting my art. Shoutout to my younger self to never giving up. Shoutout to Farm House Food Distribution for cutting me a check every friday!!!
