My name is Michelle Clerveaux, Creative Director, Designer and
Founder of Born To Win Kids clothing company. Born To Win was created to
encourage and empower children of all ages with the message of becoming
whatever they want to be in making their dreams a reality and reaching for the
Stars. My clothing company was made for kids as they are our future generation
and need much encouragement and guidance to keep them on the right track in
life.
My goal of reaching out to your school is genuinely authentic in
giving back to my community and paying it forward. I would love to have the
opportunity to assist in partnering up in creating a unique fundraiser with my
kids clothing company where I am offering a full and partial scholarship. As
parents it can be extremely difficult at times to truly give your children
everything that they need as I was once a child and watched my mom struggle to
make sure we have all that we needed so to make a family’s life a little easier
would be my absolute pleasure with this opportunity.
My mother left Haiti at the age of 16 to live with her father
here in the US and instead of finishing school, she took a job cleaning houses
to save money to bring her mother and her five siblings to this country. She
decided to start her own cleaning service in order to spend more time with my
brother and I. By the time I was in junior high school, I was working at a drug
store where I met LL Cool J was became a defining moment in my life when he
told me to keep striving and as destiny would have it, he showed up to my
school one day to introduce a program he created called Pencil.
This program changed my life growing up a young girl who had big
dreams of being a successful designer when I wrote an essay about the
importance of excellence and won first place out of 5000 kids. The program
Pencil gave me the opportunity to intern at the Def Jam program where I was
mentored and taught about business, networking, law, marketing and art. Through
this amazing program, I was fortunate to work for the likes of Sean John,
Akademiks, South Pole, Jones of New York and many other labels. My designs have
been featured in major stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Kohl's, JC Penney
as well as Walmart.
Now that I am in this place of
happiness and continuous learning and growing, I would love to have to
opportunity to help that little boy or little girl who has a major dream in his
or her heart that she would like to come true but not sure how to begin. I want
to be able to give them the same mentor-ship and guidance I was given in order
for them to become successful in their life personally and professionally as
life is full of obstacles but with support, encouragement and a fearless heart
they are able to overcome anything that comes their way.
