Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Devon Glover. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
DeVon, appreciate you making time for us and sharing your wisdom with the community. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others overcame obstacles can be helpful. One of those struggles is keeping creativity alive despite all the stresses, challenges and problems we might be dealing with. How do you keep your creativity alive?
I am inspired by everything! I find creativity lives through inspiration & comes in many different forms. We have heard the term “there is nothing new under the sun”, right? This simply isn’t true. New species of life are discovered on a frequent basis. My creative focus starts with what hasn’t been done yet? I innerstand that many ideas are built upon a previous one & by adding my own expression of creativity is what makes it unique and powerful, sending a message encouraging open conversation. I utilize existing products as a “blank canvas” & give them a fresh, new RE- fashioned cycle of life!
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Stay tuned for my full life documentary (still being scripted) & streaming in real life, on all platforms lol…
The SLOOTH brand was born out of going within to discover my full potential, self realization. My continued journey of uncovering/rediscovering truths that we already possess. This journey is a choice that many do not choose to travel. I have taken the road less traveled when it comes to truth, both in SELF, society and universally. All answers we seek outside of ourselves reside within. We are all an interweaving of cosmic god particles. Everything is a REflection of our own inner awareness creating our current REality.
In a nutshell, this is what SLOOTH is all about!
[ SL-OO-TH] A self evolving lifestyle brand, urging you to rediscover the power within your own INRverse. Each design will always remain relevant.
I was in a debacle for a few years, and always wondering if people would actually buy garments that were pre-loved, versus brand new? Well, it’s a billion dollar industry now, so that question has been answered. I’ve always been an UPcycler, REuser & “dumpster diver”(I have a design for that too lol!)
I am currently transitioning…
The fashion industry is the #1 pollution culprit on our Earth. I absolutely LOVE fashion, but we must be mindful. My intent and purpose, in this living mission, is an ever growing RE/UP Collection of reimagined “blank canvases” (thrifted/found/donated garments) keeping less waste out of landfills and giving that particular garment another cycle of life. When we all do just our small part, collectively, the impact is far greater!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Love
Knowledge of SELF
Integrity
Truth
The best advice I can give for those individuals on their journey is to stay true to your own authenticity. Society will always try to impose its values and standards on you. Act on your intuition & what resonates within your highest SELF. Always be open to change & adapt to possibilities & circumstances. BE OPEN to those often subtle clues on your journey helping you along the way. FIND YOUR TRUE PASSIONS, AND ACT CONSISTENTLY. Obstacles will always present themselves along the way, but by having abominable faith on your journey and DOing what you love… growth and transformation will occur.
DON’T STOP LOVING.
SELF KNOWLEDGE IS the KEY.
NEVER STOP CREATING…
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Collaboration & partnerships are the cornerstones of connecting and truly making an impact with others on the same vibrational frequency. Sharing the same living mission can be powerful, as well as transformational. It also increases the viewfinder of those sharing a similar vision.
I’ve collaborated with several creatives over the past few years, and continue to do so. I also provide custom merch for other local businesses/creatives, and have also been an incubator for those that have expressed a vision, but unable to get started. The biggest obstacle for many is taking that first step.
So YES to us working & creating together! Just reach out anytime.
