I’ve Been working on this brand for a while this brand came to my vision through Prayer
It’s almost like my dad spoke to me through spirit ‘ in Japan Chin means Money & Abundance’ Chin was My dad nickname he was known for Hustling through the streets of New Orleans to make a living for his family. My dad was a Money Magnet’ anything he touched it multiplied’ A Math Genius. & his dream was to be rich one day just like any other young man living and well. unfortunately he lost his life to police violence’ before their was a Travon Martin their was an Andrew Robertson Same story another black man innocently losing his life to police abuse ‘ and cover ups My father was beat to death by New Orleans Police officers.

His story motivated me even more to bring this brand out ! we can be Rich in spirit and in mind ‘ & My father was Rich in Mind & spirit! & even tho he’s not with me physically he’s with me in spirit’! So i dedicate this brand to him because he can live rich in the sky !
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
Losing My dad at the Age of 12 ‘ traumatic I still have break downs and crying sessions when I think about how he lost his life to police. It’s a Pain that will Never stop hurting a scar on my heart that will never heal ! But the shaping came with time I had to learn how to live without him and accept that he couldn’t be with me physically. My Mom Janice Duck ‘Lacey showed me strength because i didn’t see he cry as much after losing him either she held it in or Just knew she had to be strong for me ! My mom was my dad first love they both was raised in the most historic neighborhood of New Orleans Treme ‘ Their she connected with him and we all became a powerful Blood line with My Dad side of the family The Lil People! ‘ Treme Own and well known Family of the neighborhood’ loved and celebrated no matter what ‘ My father came from love ! I grew to understand that even with out him being here I still had so much love and support around me from my Family of both sides ‘ Lil People & Lacey’s it All taught me strength! My Bloodline taught me strength!
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stop hiding my pain when I got close to God after losing my father! My grandma Patrica Hall took me to get baptized at greater St.Steven by Bishop Paul Martin!
My heart changed I started to dream more as a young Woman ‘ and as young as I was I would write down my goals and ambitions and always visualize being my own boss Some Day .
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes ‘ I’m very Goal Driven in public & on the internet’ the entrepreneur lifestyle is my life and I’m very humble‘ and In any conversation I have with anyone publicly they know I’m going to motivate them with words of positivity to chase their dreams and goals no matter how long it take !
