Ayo Uno is a music artist, clothing designer, and entrepreneur based in Longview TX who has recently opened up his store, The Emotional Club - a clothing brand and storefront that curates apparel lines with a positive message centered around a movement of creative self-expression and self-acceptance.
In this interview, I had the opportunity to sit down with him and discuss how the store got started, his vision for it, and what it all means for himself, the artists and creators in the area, and the world.
I think Uno’s story is inspiring because 1. He’s created a brand that merges streetwear with a positive message (strong communication 2. He has a heart for developing and highlighting local talent (strong community) 3. He’s just getting started. (strong company)
