Equal Clothing

Hi, my name is Azeem. I'm a 21-year-old who lives with Muscular Dystrophy. Given my condition, I've exceeded the expectations of my doctors. However, I'm well aware my time is limited, and I want to make the most of the time I have, which is why I've decided to make my mark in this life and leave a legacy that I can be proud of …… but I need your help to achieve this!

I am not an able-bodied person. Throughout my life, my disability has been seen as a setback for society, but not for myself. In school, I found myself lost in the pile when the focus shifted from physical disabilities to a focus on challenging behaviour and mental disabilities. It was assumed with an able mind and a wheelchair I could get on by myself. During the pandemic, I was shut off more and could not access the stimulus I needed to progress and develop, to be as equal in endeavours as my peers were.

Similar obstacles are found for people in wheelchairs, and with physical disabilities who wish to enter the world of work and contribute to society. Without proper schooling, mentoring, access to further education and constraints on the types of jobs they could have, an ambitious personality could plummet into despair.

I set out to start a brand with a focus on disability awareness as well as challenging the market for competitive premium streetwear. I started with a simple idea that, although society can remind us that not everyone is equal, their contributions can be.

And this is how Equal Clothing was born.

This is my opportunity to prove that anyone can achieve through the perceived impossibilities of disabilities, as everyone needs help from friends sometimes and when we work together, we can all achieve amazing things.

I want my brand to show people like me that they can be creative; they can contribute, and they can be successful.

“Equal Clothing isn’t for anybody, it is for any body.”

I said at the beginning that I need your help, I'm passionate about my message and brand but need help to make my dream of creating Equal Clothing a reality. Please help me reach my Go Fund Me target to start Equal Clothing and give equality the voice it deserves.
