We had the good fortune of connecting with Danekki Bowen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Danekki, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
It has never been a easy choice pursuing a creative career ideas have always been a daunting feeling keeping me up at night with all that being said the feeling of expressing myself creatively has been rewarding giving me an opportunity to heal ,grow, and share my art with the world which is why I pursed a creative career. It is my happiness my purpose !

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As painter Paul once said “I create – in order not to cry.” I know theirs always been something different about me the way I handle adversity and despite everything that has happened I’ve always pursed the same passions Majority of my creativity stems from my emotions it took a lot of trial an error. It took me taking multiple risk to get to where I am today moving to New York starting a business with little to nothing . I’ve learned that I have to create my own doors instead trying to open the ones that would never open for me , I learned that I have to be my own biggest cheerleader that I have to keep going no matter how hard it gets, I can do anything with hard work persistence and acknowledge everyone in the room . Kavieshco is not a typical brand everything is hand picked one of a kind and will not be restocked more than once it’s reflection of my Jamaican background with vibrant variations of colors and so much more .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend wanted me to show them around first things first I would take them out for food at 1-800-lucky , theirs also Coyo taco for another quick bit explore around Fort Lauderdale beach while we ride scooters later on for the rest of the night life vibes we can go to the wharf in Fort Lauderdale specifically and have the time of our life’s
