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

Hi Breanna, what do you attribute your success to?
Perseverance is an attribute of my success. I walk by faith and not by sight. I have the determination to succeed in all things that I do. Through the highs and the lows, I never give up and keep working toward my goals every day.

Family is my foundation. They are the key to my success. I am where I am today because of them. My brand was inspired by my family. I grew up watching my parents, aunts, and uncles, work hard to provide and ensure we never went without no matter how hard it was. I was motivated by their hustle which is where I get my drive and determination.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am the owner of the brand Eleanor Piere, a ready-to-wear, streetwear clothing line that caters to those who are seeking greatness and motivated by their goals and dreams.

Eleanor Piere has ties to family roots. I grew up inspired by my family’s hustle to make things happen, no matter the circumstance. This is why I chose to focus strictly on streetwear to be inclusive to all; the creators, service workers, corporate professionals, business owners, moms, dads, aunties, uncles, the list goes on & on.

When I think of the name of my brand and hear it, or say it; I am always reminded of my roots and the foundation that helped me get to where I am today.

I want the world to know that Eleanor Piere is for the people and we strive to fit into our customer’s everyday lifestyle. We want to be a part of their daily motivation to “wake up and go get it”.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m from Richmond, Virginia, and I love spending time in the Fan District. I’m an arts girl, so during that week, we would visit the local art galleries, shop around, dine at a few of the local restaurants, and include some self-care. We have great spas in the area as well, so I would ensure we take to time to focus on our wellness.

The night life is growing in Richmond, so I would also include a few nights at local pop-up events to listen to good music, network, and enjoy food in drinks.

Last but not least, I would ensure we spend down time at my home, watching movies, vibe to good tunes, and cook our favorite foods.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mother. She’s one of my biggest supporters. I call her for just about everything. She molded me into the women I am today and I am forever grateful for all that she has done for me.
