We have been so excited to introduce you to the students behind your Threads. Their stories are real, vulnerable, and inspiring. They are committed to breaking the cycle that most inner city youth get caught in. This week, we are introducing you to Deon. Deon has overcome a lot. Your purchase of his shirt this week will help him continue to pay his way through college.
Life hits us all hard at one point in our lives, but it's up to us to overcome that. I've been knocked down several of times but I'm counting my blessings to the man up stairs. I tend to get through that. Like they say, "you have to go through it, to get to it". I wouldn't be the man I am with stressing because it made the the person I am today and if I can over power that there's not anything that can get in my way. Being brought up in a rough environment without both of my parents is hard. One thing that kept me going is "letting God be the pilot and I be the passenger". I'm proud to be able to carry a high school diploma, still be able to attend college, and play college football. God is good, I couldn't ask for a better Father.
