In that game he scored 34 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, leading his team to their first victory of the season.

Phella x Unique Legacy

I did a small photo shoot the other night wearing my friend Chris’ clothes. Chris Powell is a friend from high school and the founder of Unique Legacy. Chris always had hustle back in the day, always selling clothes or something. I was a bit more reserved but I always observed what he did and respected it. Plus we played basketball and stuff together often so that’s where the friendship came from.

After leaving school Chris and I lost contact because he headed overseas to serve in the armed forces and I was here at home performing my less risky services. At some point one year we crossed paths at Prince Georges Plaza mall and Chris had some of his face peeled off and that’s when he explained to me that he had been fighting in the war. My respect for him shot through the roof and we exhchanged numbers and vowed to keep in touch.

After the mall meeting, Chris began to keep up with what I was doing and for some reason looks to me as a source of inspiration as he now has started his Unique Legacy brand which houses several businesses including the clothing, community work and a Media & Entertainment group. Chris definitely doesn’t lack in ambition and we often meet up when our schedules allow it to trade stories and notes from books we’ve read.

The reason I’m so interested in Unique Legacy is because it’s from home and it’s positive. If you know anything about DC and PG culture, we had a bunch of street clothing lines in the 90′s and early 2000′s from Shooters to Hobo and many more. Problem is most of them used to be too expensive and the clothes were cut just for the streets of DC and PG. Now it looks like Chris is taking that inspiration and designing it for fashion ave. My number one rule for marketing or selling anything is that I have to like it and believe in it. I like and believe in this stuff. Feels good, looks good and comes from a good place. Those are all the ingredients you need to be successful.

So maybe not today or tomorrow but one day if you wanna add to your clothing arsenal and support a fellow DC area hustler who served our country and is now looking to do something positive in the community, I suggest you get your Unique Legacy on.
