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

Hi Kenyetta, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I was the oldest daughter of 4. We weren’t poor but we weren’t well off either. And I got tired of wearing hand me downs. From older cousins. I always had to sacrifice for my younger siblings. So I decided I would start making my own clothes. And my clothing line was born.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As I stated before. The community center brought my family together and I was raised in the programs. We have African dance, praise dance, karate, drill team. Almost all of my family has black belts. We grew up well rounded people. On top of after school activities like jazz band, March band, plays and musicals. Life was always busy. Sometimes we would have 6/7 shows in a day. But we always made it work. The way we were taught to navigate life as children prepared us for the real world. So when it was my time to get out there. I stood on my own feet and did what I was born to do.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
If it were not for the Unity community center. Based in Camden Nj. I would not be the person I am today. Literally I would not be born. They brought my parents together. Without Robert Dickerson there would be no me. Without them there would be no me.
