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

Hi Corlisa, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Originally It was used it as a pageant platform to help create a voice for myself and others. I have always loved fashion and hoodies, well graphic hoodies and such so I felt the need to create a brand that speaks volumes to myself and those around me. Unmask The Truth helped me truly soul search and with doing that I was able to confidently conquer every fear.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am most proud of my resilient spirit to continue my education. This has most definitely been a journey and giving up was the easiest option but realizing how far I have come and how God has been my strength, there is no reason to give up. I am proud of the person I am becoming and the exciting experience that are likely to come, especially becoming a pageant director and coach. I have gotten this far with prayer and the lesson learned was to faith and control what I can. I want the world to know that my brand and story caters to EVERYONE. No one speaks about overcoming abuse, mental health issues, and even day to day struggles but that is what I am here for, with hopes to become a voice and advocate, even if it’s a simple word of encouragement.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My aunt Cassandra Hockless has always believed in me and supported my dreams whether big or small. She has been my motivation and my cousin Asante Hockless.
