We had the good fortune of connecting with Roosevelt Smith Jr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Roosevelt, how do you think about risk?
I think about risk as something that’s simple because it could either work or not work.Taking risk has been a very important role in my life everything in life I consider it a risk no matter how big or small it is.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I own a clothing brand called papertrailclothing. The things that separates me from others is my designs and approach. I’m excited about this upcoming year and what it have in store for me business wise.success is not easy nor does it come overnight at one point I was making the clothing myself and began to be overwhelming so I stopped for a year. I’ve learned it’s ok to step back sometimes and get a better view of things. I would like everyone to know that this only the beginning and I have a lot in store

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would go to the river walk, the canteen and go to the skate park grab a bite to eat at big bites for some tacos.For fun I would go bowling or go to an arcade such as Dave n busters or CJ Barrymores.
