Meet Our CEO & Founder
Hello
My name is Jaqueza Thomas and I am nineteen years old. I am the CEO and Founder of HeartLess, LLC. I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. My clothing brand has been in operation for three years now, and I am thrilled to be here. This clothing line is more than just a brand; it is the beginning of a new movement. My goal is to redefine the negative connotation of the term "heartless" and to inspire and guide young entrepreneurs like myself by offering advice and mentorship.
My Story
I founded my clothing brand at the young age of fifteen, inspired by an idea from a former friend. However, the true motivation behind my brand came from a tragic loss in my family. My cousin, Kentray Young, was a victim of gun violence in Chicago. This event changed my perspective on life and evoked a range of emotions within me. In honor of my cousin, I channeled my creativity into creating something meaningful, which led to the birth of my brand, "Heartless." Despite the negative connotations of the name, I strive to redefine it and promote positivity through my brand. In addition to designing and selling clothing, I also offer business advice to aspiring young entrepreneurs, mentor youth in my community, and deliver motivational speeches at events. To clarify, my brand was not started due to a broken heart from a romantic relationship.
