It’s true! I am moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going on to where…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can’t completely say at the moment, but it’s somewhere special, groovy, it’s a space of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I go, let me explain what a Detroit Hottie is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s fly, magnetic, not just a trendsetter, but she\u2019s intentional in everything she does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing about this woman is that she\u2019s hardworking; she works for hers. Nothing is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did I mention her style? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s oh so unique, it fits her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aura, a true force in her world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the definition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unless I change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To give Detroit women a groovy brand that\u2019s not the typical grit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all know Detroit is \u201chardcore\u201d, the\u201chustle mentality,\u201d but what about the Detroit women who like pink? Who wanna wear something that reminds them of their childhood or how they grew up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re all different here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growing up in Detroit as someone who isn\u2019t \u201cpopular\u201d or into the typical scene has sometimes felt like, \u201cWhere do I fit in here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not gritty, I am not hood, but I am not suburban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grew up on 7 Mile and live less than four minutes away from 8 Mile\u2026 but only went to DPS. DPSCD depends on who you’re asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My childhood was pretty calm, I mean, I lost my dad to the streets of Detroit at 9 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But overall, my childhood was calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not Detroit grit, though. What am I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pretty chic, my style is me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sweet smile, not too cheesy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Educated, Renaissance High. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of those MSU girlies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do they even call me? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Detroit Hottie collection was about creating something fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, it is about creating something unique, with a Y2K touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspired by Mean Girls, to be exact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s not the typical woman, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sure, she\u2019s from 7 Mile, but that\u2019s just a street name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s creative, hot, kinda quirky, even a bit sexy, but she\u2019s a go-getter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her environment? Doesn\u2019t crumble her; she knows where she\u2019s from. She cherishes it, but she goes beyond it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Detroit Hottie collection isn\u2019t ending. I\u2019ll forever cherish my first collection from 6:23 Detroit Shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s pivoting. My brand originated in Detroit, right in a little ole home off 7 Mile, but our destiny is beyond Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time for my brand to reach its next heights while still honoring its foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forever a Detroit Hottie. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n With love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chan <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just in case they ask what a Detroit Hottie is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,376,461,6],"tags":[462,685,343,848,785,849],"class_list":["post-8346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts","category-lifestyle-content","category-small-business","category-whats-new","tag-623-detroit-shop","tag-c-alilijah","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-hottie","tag-small-business-diaries","tag-small-business-owner"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
