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

Hi Seyana, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I started CrewLove Collection in hopes to show that women can dress comfortable and feel beautiful at the same time. I know there are certain standards that women are expected to live up to on how they should be dressed up in heels and skirts all the time but that’s not the world I and many others want to live in.

What should our readers know about your business?
I can relate to my customers who prefer to not be dressed up all the time or to go out every weekend. It took me forever to be comfortable in the way that I dressed. People always create this idea of what you should look like or how you should dress based off social norms. It took me almost a year to get to a place where I could understand what my business meant truly. I had an idea at first but as I grew to learn the business I also adjusted what I wanted my business to stand for.

One thing I can say I learned is owning a business is not for everybody but if you
want it bad enough against any obstacles thrown my way is well worth it. I started my business because I had a love for hoodies, crewnecks (hence the name) and just the overall need to be comfortable 100% of the time. I wanted to share my love for comfort with world and to let people know that they aren’t alone.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The best places to visit in my opinion would be: The Rooftop at Ponce City Market, Top Golf, the belt line, The Painted Duck. Restaurants to try would be The Corner Grille, Lickety Split, Busy Bees, Escobar, Snooze AM Eatery and The Real Milk and Honey

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to recognize first, the people who keep my business going, my customers. Without them purchasing and sharing the items they bought I wouldn’t be where I am now. I also want to shoutout my friends for taking the time to recommend me and my business. It really meant a lot to me.
