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

Hi Ontavia, is there something you believe many others might not?
That you can not do it all. Forming a trusted community around you and your business with that you far in your career

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
It has been a long journey to get to New York working on Saturday Night Live and showing Collection independently during New York Fashion week. It did not happen overnight. The number one challenged that i had (have) to conquer is the the dialogue in my mind. The person up there experiencing imposter syndrome, the thought of self sabotage that says “you should get a 9 to 5” the idea of staying in bed instead of being self motivated and getting up to sew or make content. Once you master the person in your head that is easily embarrassed and doesn’t want to be seen, you transition into a new level of work ethic. What I’ve learned from this is millions of people experience these feelings and never even start their first ideas. So, I’m ahead of the game by just trying.

One thing i want to world to know about my brand sorry is this is just the beginning, and i have so many more amazing people to dress and events to create for the fashion community.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
their are so many fashionable people in the city so were are going to brunch to people watch. To the mall to see what the youth is wearing. And wherever the food is. I’m a easy going type when i’m not working. we would go listen to live music and meet up with family for a Bar-B-Q. call me boring or old fashion but the safer the space the better. The independent artist event and farmers markets. we pulling up.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Parents have always supported me through my process of growth. Encouraging me through the good and bad times.
