Is your product/service expensive? Can everyone afford it? Do you have an option for everyone?

It’s not expensive, it’s definitely affordable and yes I do have options for everyone because I carry all sorts of different items from hoody’s, to shirts, accessories, etc.

With so many people jumping into your industry, do you feel any pressure to compete? Why or why not?

I don’t feel any pressure to compete at all because my creative mindset is what separates me from everyone else.

I feel like TRINX is a brand that’s different. I’m doing something that no one else is doing. I’m not just putting my name on a shirt and calling it a clothing line, I actually take time and design my graphics.

How do you plan on growing your business?

That’s a tough one…but i plan to grow my business through the youth. The youth is imports at because they are influential and they will still be here when we are not and they will keep the fashion going. The youth make people want to stay young and vibrant. The Youth is the future.

Do you have a team? If so, how did you build it?

Yes, I have a small team… a collective few trustworthy people that I’ve been dealing with for years.

Have you experienced failures, if so what did you learn from them?

I don’t believe in failure, it’s all a learning experience at the end of the day. Have I tried something and it didn’t work out? Yes… How did I learn from it? I was relentless and kept going.

You have so much confidence in your business/craft. Where did this confidence come from?

I have always been confident throughout my entire life, thanks to my Mom. She always pushed me and instilled that in me.

What do you think it takes to be successful in this business?

I think it takes perseverance,confidence, and not expecting everything to go your way your first few years in this industry. You also have to come different each and every time plain and simple and always know there is someone else trying to take your spot everyday. You have to push yourself to be great 24/7.

Do you feel it’s hard to be taken seriously in this industry?

Yes and No, only because I feel like nobody wants to be known as a ‘used to be” .You have to work hard to stay relevant so you have to earn your stripes to be taken seriously in this industry.

Nene Leakes Left Wide-Eyed By Chrisean Rock’s 12-Kid Reveal

H

Reality icon Nene Leakes is no stranger to jaw-dropping interviews, but even she had to pause when Chrisean Rock dropped a bombshell on her latest appearance. As a guest on Nene’s talk show, the viral rapper and internet sensation opened up about her complicated relationship with Blueface, motherhood, and a surprise personal decision that had fans and Nene herself doing a double take. In a heart-to-heart moment, Nene delicately inquired about the infamous Blueface tattoo prominently inked on Rock’s cheek.

“Why you put him on your face because you have a beautiful face?” Nene asked, with the sass and sincerity only she can deliver. “Now, Chrisean… would you ever take it off?” Without hesitation, Chrisean confirmed what many fans didn’t see coming. “I’m do it on my stream,” she said confidently. “I want my fans to be a part of the process.” But just when the conversation seemed like it couldn’t get any more personal, Rock took it to another level by revealing she hopes to have twelve children in the future.

The confession left Nene and likely anyone watching with raised eyebrows and a host of follow-up questions. While Rock didn’t dive into the timeline or logistics, her conviction was clear. In an age where celebrities often filter their truths, Chrisean’s candidness struck a chord, if not a nerve. Nene, ever the seasoned host, managed to keep her cool, delivering her signature blend of shocked expression and knowing nod. “Twelve? Girl, you better get to work!”

Chrisean’s willingness to share her journey, including the removal of a very public symbol of her past and her dreams of a big family, gives a new dimension to the often misunderstood star. Whether or not the world is ready for Rock and her future football team-sized family, she’s doing things on her own terms. As for Nene, she may just need a moment to recover before the next guest walks in with a story to top this one.

Keke Opens Up On Why Her Jonathan Majors Interview Never Aired

H

Keke Palmer has always been open about her feelings, and this week was no exception as she talked about a canceled podcast episode featuring actor Jonathan Majors, who is currently facing legal challenges. Back in April, fans noticed a preview for what seemed to be an exciting and possibly controversial episode of her podcast, “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.” The Wondry app described it with the phrase “Accountability. It’s a loaded word, right?” The episode was set to explore how society is changing its views on forgiveness, justice, and what it means to hold people, especially men, accountable for their actions.

Naturally, fans became curious when the episode didn’t air as planned. They wondered if it was canceled because of Majors’ legal issues or if Keke decided not to release it on her own. During a recent interview on “Way Up With Angela Yee,” Keke finally shared her thoughts. She explained that some of the decisions may have been beyond her control, but she spoke about it in a calm and respectful way. She didn’t blame anyone or go for shock value but hinted that there were bigger issues influencing the situation.

Whether or not the episode with Jonathan Majors will ever be released is still uncertain. However, Keke Palmer is not afraid to engage with difficult topics, she simply knows when to speak up and when to step back. In today’s world, where silence can often be misinterpreted as agreement, Keke demonstrates that sometimes, choosing to stay quiet is also a way of being accountable.
