We had the good fortune of connecting with Rawley A. Harris and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rawley A., we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
For me, starting my own business stemmed from a desire for independence, the opportunity to pursue my passion, and of course the potential for financial gain. I saw a gap in the market that I believed I could can fill by creating an inclusive Caribbean Clothing Brand which encompasses the true aspects of Caribbean Pride.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Art as always been a true love of mine. I started sketching/drawing in middle school. I used to spend all of my allowance on Marvel comic books an after school i would rush home to try and recreate the characters. That foundations has brought me to where I am today. I enjoy being creative, I often refer to the process as my therapy. O pride myself in creating orginal, creative yet relevant deigns for the brand.
