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

Hi Slim, why did you pursue a creative career?
I chose to pursue an artistic AND creative career because I am artistic and creative! By that, I mean that anything I create is an art of my own, & my mind is always the creative director of the art.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
SLIM SHADY CO. LLC started off as a Sunglass business in 2020. Shortly after, I began selling hat, tshirts, hoodies, bags etc. to extend my customers options.

I wanted to start my own sunglass business because at first, I wanted to style people like myself for photo shoots or birthdays…then I decided how much time I didn’t have to do that which is why I came up with another way to help people feel more confident within their wardrobe. Any piece that I sell, I would wear myself. I put together an outfit, then add a piece from my brand to complete the look!

Starting out, was very easy. It just gets more challenging throughout the process. Nothing that I can’t handle though. I overcome all my obstacles by simply praying.

Having this business, I learned that everything isn’t for everyone, & sometimes you gotta go broke, to get to that place you wanna be! JUST KEEP GOING

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Sunday – Catch breakfast/brunch at Grandma B’s Cafe, visit my favorite thrift shop (ZEDS), and end our night with top golf. Monday – Catch breakfast at Lindos, catch a $5 movie, eat dinner and drinks at Bar Louie on the north shore
Tuesday – Breakfast at Waffle INcafinated, Painting with a twist for fun & drinks, dinner at Bone Fish & Grill
Wednesday – Breakfast at Square Cafe, tour my favorite mall in the city (Ross Park), end the night at D&B
Thursday – Breakfast at Deluca’s in the strip district, axe throwing & day drinking, end the night at the over look for the view & pictures
Friday – Breakfast at Pamela’s, day drink, enjoy the entire night bar hopping all over the city until we can’t anymore.
Saturday – Brunch at Revel & enjoy mimosas & chicken & waffles, hit a bowling alley, end the night at Primanti Brothers

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I just would like to first, thank my creator for keeping me sane throughout this crazy, sometimes stressful process & for getting me through everything! I want to thank my love, friends, family and mom for sticking with me every single step of the way. I would also like to give a special thanks to my brand ambassador Jae (@_peanutbuttah) for genuinely helping me build my brand & playing her role, treating my business as if it’s her own. Lastly, THANK YOU to every single person who has supported me in any way, shape, or form.
