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

Hi Omokayode, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I guess my entrepreneurial spirit. Iv always known at a young age I wanted to do this was just waiting for the right opportunity and time. As a kid I always forced my friends to play my staffs and we used monopoly cash to run businesses I would think off at d time. We would sell anything from paper planes to manual labor lol

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Even though I got my BSC in computer science at the university of Houston i mostly work with flexible platforms like uber and Amazon which gives me the flexibility to work on my plans which includes this apparel brand.

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?
Grains and solids is a Nigerian restaurant located on the southwest side of Houston. If you want to try the best tasting nigerian food , go there . NASA would also be a recommendation. And places like prospect park ,02, are cool lounge spots

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Family has been my back bone. Especially my older brother sheriff kareem
