Bio

I would describe myself as an honest, hardworking, and selfless individual. I gave myself those characteristics because that is what I was taught as a child and I would love to pass those traits down to younger generations to people. In my opinion, my career and life goals reflect that. My life goals are to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy and then open my own private practice clinic. I would also like to continue my clothing business I made a few months ago, and then write a book for less fortunate children from my community and any others who would wish to read on how to succeed the right way in life.

      My parents gave me the name Caesar because they thought it'd be useful someday. They told me that my city of Philadelphia would only be a launch pad for me to do great things in life, and I believed them. I have always found enjoyment in helping people and making a difference in peoples lives, so I decided to make a clothing business where I could do both. My business is called Cat's Eye Infinity, and it was started in October of 2019. I usually make T shirts for people that has a message on it, for example like "Power to the People" or "Black Lives Matter," and much more. I also do custom designs and logos for people so they can also start their businesses. I enjoy making shirts that sends some sort of message because I believe that clothing, especially T shirts can influence people just as much as billboards and Television commercials. Also, with enough influence, you have the ability to change the world. It may be a lofty goal, but that does not really discourage me for fighting for what is right and continuing to move forward. My inspiration came from my family and a rough past. I grew up in a bad neighborhood in Philadelphia, where it seemed like our voices were not being heard. Growing up, I saw how people would express themselves using fashion and design, so I thought I would do it as a business. My family also played a big role in my inspiration. They told me about all the great civil rights activists and others who overcame diversity to make a difference in our world. I always aspired to be that, so once I had those two motivations, I ended up going on a website to make a logo. The logo for my business is a teddy bear with a crown, and I felt like it symbolized me or what I was trying to do. When a child is afraid at night from a nightmare or having some trouble sleeping, what do they usually hold on to? Usually something soft, and would make them comfortable, like a pillow or a stuffed animal. I always wanted to be that to people, and as I got older, that is what people described me as. My goal for this business is three things, one of which is a testament to my costumers that I would always be my logo and that logo will always be a part of me. It is also a testament saying that I would never leave someone behind and I would always be that "teddy bear" for them to make sure they are safe. My second goal is to use my clothing business to convey messages to change the way Americans and people alike see each other. You see plenty of opinions and helpful ideas permeate into very sheltered areas through fashion alone. I have traveled to many places around the United States and I believe that people who have forms of prejudices and hatred for others have not really traveled and experienced a lot of things. With this sort of success, it would hopefully lead me to my third, which is gaining enough support to speak and be heard. This would not be just for me, it would be mostly for the people that could not speak or the ones that could not be heard. With some hard work, support from others, and the ability to give back, I feel as though my business could do massive things for our future.
