He also talks about the pressure of putting outfits together, why jerseys became a trend, how women helped push jersey styling forward, and how sports fashion became bigger than just wearing a team jersey.We also get into the stress of throwing events, handling public criticism, review culture, building a strong team, expanding The Jersey Party to new cities, DMV and UMD culture, growing up Nigerian, navigating college, breaking into tech, Techsgiving, faith, community impact, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to build something that lasts.If you’re interested in The Jersey Party, DMV culture, UMD, sports fashion, event planning, tech, faith, entrepreneurship, or building a cultural movement, this conversation is for you.Subscribe to CurbTalks Podcast for more conversations with creators, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, media personalities, and culture-shifters shaping the next wave.Follow CurbTalks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/curbtalkspod/?hl=enTikTok: @curbtalks
