JuJu on joining the fashion industry: “Growing up, sports has always been a fun thing for me. It always kept me occupied and helped with staying out of trouble,” he said. “The fashion aspect just came along with it. Knowing that once I was making my own money, I was able to buy stuff I liked and began wearing and appreciating higher-end items. It came hand in hand.”

It inspired me to do the same. I kept that partnership close and we became more than friends, we became a business.”
