I achieved something outstanding recently and a few people reached out to congratulate me.
But one message, in particular, made me pause.
She told me she always believed in me. That she admired my ambition. That she’s been there quietly the entire time and then she said something that stayed with me: “Keep pushing… not just for yourself but for the few people who look up to you.”
It made me realise that even when I move in silence, people are watching. Even when I question myself, someone sees potential. Even when I feel like I’m climbing alone, there are quiet supporters holding space for my success.
I think that’s what this journey has been all along; a tension between who I am privately and who I’m becoming publicly. And somehow, both sides of me are shaping RTMD.
Because RTMD isn’t just fashion. It’s the story of becoming something more.
It’s ambition stitched into fabric. it’s the weight of expectations, the discipline to rise, and the courage to build an empire from a dream.
