Xavier Bryant - cuXtomkiX
My business is cuXtomkiX, where everything is DIFFERENT. It’s a shoe customizing business where you can see the love in every design. On the left, I put all thoughts and ideas of the customer. From landscaped and animals to animated characters and calligraphy, I do just about anything. (... and I PROMISE I’ll tell you if I can’t 😂)
The right shoe is the one that means the most to me. It represents myself, my rights, and what I believe in. On every right shoe, I put my signature, a “BLM” fist, and a quote that reads “I Know My Rights.” “I Know My Rights.” could be taken as literal as “I know my right from my left”, but can also go as deep as “I KNOW my right as a human being, a person of color, a black person...etc”. Sometimes people really just needs a reminder that no matter how others view them, they have worth and have the same rights as the next person.
