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

What should our readers know about your business?
Well I actually have been blessed to have a faith based clothing company called Devine Souls Clothing LLC which has been up and running over 11 years strong. We have accomplished a host of things since we started, like having some of the most notable people in the entertainment industry wearing our clothing in movies, concerts and shows. It definitely wasn’t easy to build the brand especially with no bank backing you and just taking from 9-5 income to build it, but I would say we prayed and pressed thru any challenge that came our way. We now have branched off and started our own catering company because I’m a chef and love to cook, called A. Devine Taste Catering llc. I’ve been a chef for over 16 years and love what we do, so I decided to start up catering a few years ago.. I have also helped my son start his own clothing brand as well called Gifted Apparel LLC and my daughter’s S & K Sweet Dreams LLC.

My story is simple I’m just a young fellow from Greenwood SC that was saved by God’s Grace and now I’m out here doing Kingdom Business
 

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well if my best friend was coming to town we would go out and hit some nice places to eat like bbq and steak restaurants. We would also go check out games like basketball or even football games etc.

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?
Well first and foremost my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because truly without him bringing me from the streets to the pulpit by his grace and mercy there would be no me. Secondly my better half my wife she stands behind me every move I make and she is a praying wife. My pastor for mentoring me when I didn’t have the belief in myself because of how life treated me thru the years, he told me to borrow the belief he has in me until I get the belief myself and I must say now I have that belief ha ha. Last but definitely not the least my parents who instilled me the principles of life and hard work.
