Workin at this shop has made me love CALI even more than I always have. I am proudly from Southeast SD, born and raised but I feel like LA really raised me. I moved out here for school at UCLA and in the past 4 years, I've been through more shit than people my age. Out here is where I refined MY HUSTLE and came into my own, and I love LA for that. At times workin 2 jobs, double interning for fckin FREE, founded our sorority, got my degree, got into my car accident & had to learn how to walk again, lost love & GREW, made my worst enemies, but connected mind states with some of the dopest people that I ain't even mad at all those who hate on me. Even the boys who work at the shop, they've become my big bros, always lookin' out and I thank them for that. I have so many bonds with people who inspire me, challenge me, humble me that all I can be is a sponge to all the hustle, strong work ethics, fashion, art, music, that I've been blessed to be immersed in. Not that many people get that and I am fully aware of how blessed I am. I love Cali for the sunny days, the warm nights, LA for the mixture of wealthy, poor, hood, eclectic ass people that I see everywhere.

My friend moved out here a good couple of months ago and I was so happy for him. I knew he was in for some growth and appreciation for this magnet of a place that so many people only dream of living in. Sometimes I hate LA for the petty things like the traffic, but in hindsight, this is where I've felt my weakest mornings, my strongest moments and the place that's made my future as bright as ever.

I feel lucky as hell to live the life I live and you better believe I don't take a day for granted. LA has taught me to fuck the petty bullshit because there is always something better, a better opportunity, a better friend, a better experience, you just got be open to the changes and roll with it.

Thanks Los Angeles.
