With being 4 year collegiate basketball players and full time students things got extremely stressful mentally and physically for us. Early on in our journey through the real world we noticed how little mental health was discussed and how such of a negative stigma it has behind it. Mental health issues can come in any form and at any age. We know what it feels like to want to stay in bed all day, alone and away from the outside world. Feeling as though the whole world is against you, with no one to lean on.
Instead of giving up, we motivated and bounced off eachother everyday to keep going and achieve the goals we had set for ourselves. We encouraged each other to find resources and outlets that could help us build mentally. We are now working in our own lanes with Healthcare Administration and Personal training. However, we are dedicating all of our free time to spreading awareness and building a healthy brand around mental health. With our love for clothing we hope to build a brand that anyone can wear to represent mental health and the battles it comes with. We in no way have mental health all figured out but we want to use statistics and positivity to not only build awareness but encourage people that it's ok to not be ok.
Without motivation, drive, courage, and consistency, none of this would be possible. We hope our brand and clothing can motivate you guys to never give up on you and chase your dreams. Our goal is to eventually be able to give back to mental health programs of all kinds and create new resources on our own for anyone to use!
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
