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

Hi Taye, what role has risk played in your life or career?

I feel like taking risk set you away from the norm. Honest I believe you can’t be as successful without taking risk, but  you have to know what risk are worth it. I’ve been a risk taker my whole life and most times I’ve ended up on the positive side from my risk. I step outside the box and I’m not afraid of being different and not following trends. It’s a harder journey but the reward is bigger.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have multiple positions in my career. First as a rehab counselor, has set me apart from a lot of other professionals. I work with individuals with disabilities to help them gain employment. Being a black man in this field has been a great journey. I’ve been able to start from the bottom and make it to the top in a short amount of time. Going to college and having a masters degree to pursue this field is elite. Completing Higher education where I come from is considered unheard of. Getting higher education prepared me to be a professional which gave me the motivation to step out to do business as an entrepreneur. I learn how to conduct myself professionally while attending college. I’ve learn that you have to go hard, be consistent, and have faith. I want the world to know my clothing brand, Royalty Denim & Co, as a household brand. Later on I will put out a book or documentary about my life. So stay tuned.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite time of the year is Mardi Gras. It normally takes place in Jan-Feb. It’s the best party that you can attend for two weeks. Other then that it’s the same things you can get in other cities.. The beach area is nice off the gulf coast and local food restaurants are great. The music and fashion here is growing and it’s interesting to see who will blow next out of our city.
