Why Did I Start Kalaina's Clothing Company?

Hi, my name is Kalaina "Laina" Withrow-Hoskins and I am the founder/owner/whatever-you-want-to-call-it of Kalaina's Clothing Company! Many of you may be wondering why I decided to start an apparel business when so many other people are doing the same thing; or you may not be but I am glad you are taking the time to read! 

I have always loved clothes, fashion and designing (although I have yet to bring my designs to life). Ask anyone close to me and they can tell you that my house is filled with my clothes. I have way too many, but that's because I love it. I especially love comfortable clothes, such as; oversized tees, sweaters, sweatpants, beanies...etc. Why not make my own? 

The mission of my brand is spread love, kindness, positivity and mental health awareness. I have and do still struggle with mental health as well as those around me. Through the years, I have found that less and less people care about mental health or tend to think that it's just something you can easily get over. News flash. It's not. It seems as if the only time people care is when it's too late. You are not alone even though it may feel like it. I want my community to have somewhere to go when they need some positivity or reassurance. I spent most of my life being left out and feeling like I was going to be alone forever- nobody deserves to feel like that. People do love you and want you around. You matter. Your mental health matters. You are welcome here! 

If you made it this far, thank you so much for supporting me. I really appreciate everything ya'll have done for me. Remember: Your mental health matters.
