Your Favorite Creator’s Favorite Lawyer ™️Lawyer @sneakerlegal, author @condetrimental. Corporate and IP atty in fashion, sports, & entertainment. Views=mine
My why for IP and wanting to work in entertainment: my grandmother, one of my favorite people in the world, started an a cappella group way back when and went touring across the country. They sold a lot of merch and ultimately screwed over a lot by their “managers”
We really made resellers influencers. What has the sneaker culture even become at this point? Has it purely become a game of clout & connections? Are the brands so asleep at the wheel that a follower count & scan of who a person is “followed by” all it takes to get opportunities?
This pic was my introduction to creating content. It's crazy cause I ONLY made this page to cope with the loss of my grandmother. I had no idea what would come of it. I didn't have a "sneaker community" growing up. Outside of my siblings, I didn't know a lot of women who were into sneakers like i was. If you told me 6 years ago I'd be on seeding lists, doing a "What You Got" segment, doing focus groups for brands, my name being mentioned in rooms etc, I'd laugh because what ? ME !?! A girl from Farrock America? I didn't have the hype shoes the girls had. The Travis Scott's, etc. ALL I had were my GRs, Vans, and my oldies. My collection was totally different from what I saw online. Also my style. I got fly on a budget and my style is a mixture between streetwear and alternative. I didn't see people who look like ME fr. I said all of that to say, it didn't matter that I was different from others. I stayed true to myself and the opportunities came. Don't give up. POST THE CONTENT. You NEVER know who's watching.
Working on not playing small so other people can shine. I deserve to be confident and shine without feeling like people are going to perceive me in a certain light. Once I get my confidence up there, it's over lol.
Been emailing this examining attorney for like 4 weeks and just no response (besides the auto out of office referring me to her senior examining atty) would I be wrong to cc the senior?
I was in high school when these came out, saved up my summer money trying to get the full fear pack (shout out the MNCPPC camp days) St Charles didn’t have them and PG Plaza was sold out by time we got there 🥲 so yes. Yes I would.
We look at Drake and Jay Z sending shots to each other as just rap, or even a part of a culture war inside hip-hop. But this is bigger than that. This is another chapter in the decade-long power struggle between Drake and Jay Z.
