My Journey

My name is Javael, and in 2020 I started a brand with the slogan “Small Wins Count.” As a veteran battling anxiety, depression, and loneliness, I learned that mental health awareness isn’t optional—it’s essential. What began with selling t-shirts became a mission to create connection and remind people they’re not alone. After burning out and taking a step back, I realized this work isn’t about perfection—it’s about the journey. Today, I’m reintroducing the brand with a new message: “Don’t let your story defeat you.”
