Meet TRACYCHAIN: Fashion Designer

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

Hi TRACYCHAIN, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Both in my personal life and in business I find myself taking so many risks. Specifically to my personal life, I’ve always chosen to do what makes the most sense to me regardless of what is considered to be the “norm”. My hairstyles, outfits, lifestyle and other forms of creative expression have always been attention-grabbing moments for me and this is because I ‘m not afraid to take risks. I pride myself on this. I enjoy living life in a grey area where most couldn’t go. It’s fun and it keeps life interesting.

On the other hand, being a risk-taker in terms of business is a bit more serious. Because money is involved the risks that I do take have to be a little more calculated. Like with most things in life, risk is sometimes inevitable. For the most part, the risks that I take end in positive results, but I understand that this won’t always be the case. The results from these risks, often take me further along in either personal or business development. That is why I will always take risks, the outcomes often exceed my expectations.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It took a while for me to get to the point where I am today. It definitely was not an easy road. I overcame the challenges by leaning on others for guidance, and keeping my faith strong. In my moments of confusion, or discouragement it was crucial for me to have people in my corner to keep me grounded. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to embrace the imperfections. There are so many things that can go wrong and it makes life easier when I embrace this rather than fear it. I want the world stay tuned and know that the best is yet to come to TRACYCHAINCO.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I have a few people I would like to give a shout out to. My first shout out goes to my loving, hardworking innovative younger brother Michael D. Mike has always been business-minded from an early age. He currently has a t-shirt company : INK BY MIKE based in Tallahassee, FL. His brand has been my go-to for graphic tees lately. I love his drive and ambition. I’m so proud of all he has done so far and I can’t wait to see where he will end up. Feel free to check out his work through the links below.
