Denied Crew is part of KnowHer Collection, born from my journey of building through pain.
After a surgery went wrong, I was left with a broken screw in my neck and chronic pain that changed my life completely. I was denied disability three times, even while struggling physically and mentally.
During my recovery, I began crafting as therapy. What started as a way to cope slowly became my purpose. Over the last three years, I taught myself how to design and create tumblers, shirts, cups, keychains, kitchen sets, puzzles, and more.
Crafting saved me. It connected me to communities, workshops, digital marketing, and online education. I didn’t just heal — I rebuilt.
Now, through Denied Crew, I help others who feel broken, overlooked, or hopeless realize that it’s not over. There is still time to rebuild. There is still purpose in your pain.
