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

Hi Chris, we’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
To never give up when things get rough because they will. The challenge is to remain consistent.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
MackBrand is based on creativity and expressing my thoughts through the fashion. I always knew starting a brand and wanting to take it the next level. I had my first trial and error when I started “ GOE “ God over everything “ Brand. At the time I was only 18, looking for a quick way to make some money and I knew I was getting a lot of respect with the way I dressed so I said i’ll start a brand and sell clothes. The first two go rounds I sold out of everything completely! 3rd time come around I bought more inventory then expected and sells got low which made me discourage so I gave up on the GOD brand, but never on the passion I just needed to add more professional business skills to prepared for situations like this.! Goin to an HBCU broadened my horizon with fashion with on how people from different cities dress, business wednesday, and how ever game or Homecoming people competing on who gone come with the best fit made realize I needed to get back in the fasho industry lol. When I graduated from college I started corporate career , but in the misk Im planning my whole blueprint out with the clothes. I knew once I found out what I wanted to focus on and how to get my customers to shop I knew it was time to put myself out there. The brand itself has been around for 2 years now and I could def say I manifested for us to be here! I believe in the vision and as long as I believe, keep my faith strong, and stay consistent everything will fall into place.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Family means everything to me. My fav place to go is Miami, and I love to play basketball and try new food places

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
most def! Well first I give majority of my credit to God and my parents, the best the teachers you could ask for. When things got rough after stepping out on my career to follow my passion those love ones never left my corner.
