Share with us a little about yourself and what you do. My name is Drew Honda founder and creative director of Sweet Enemy Clothing. We have a shop located on South King Street. We are a streetwear brand that focuses on impacting the community. This brand is in honor of all those who aren't here with us today.
Why is the work that you do important to you? The community? In 2013 we started this streetwear brand to build a platform to give back. Since then we have grown both the brand and community around it to impact many of peoples lives. This is important for the community because as a young entrepreneur it inspires the youth and others around knowing they can do the same.
Share with us the qualities of leadership you admire and how you express those in your life. The qualities of leadership I admire is that I try to focus on helping develop others. As I grow we all grow together. I have helped many individuals start businesses and make moves as well.
Who has inspired you to do the work that you are doing? My grandma who passed is a huge inspiration as the brand is dedicated to her and the reason why I started it was to honor her. I also am inspired by all those around me that support this brand and those grinding and working hard every single day.
