BAE


BAE





Jahzara Bradley: Welcome to the Oh, Girl PLEASE Blog, William McCraney. I hope you are having an Awesomely Amazing Day. Tell our readers a little bit about you. Tell them something that most people would be shocked to know about you.

 William McCraney: Well I was born and raised in Gary, IN. I graduated from Roosevelt HS in '83. I joined the Marine Corp for 4years: 1983 - 1987. I have 5 kids, 3 boys, and 2 girls. And right now I'm a truck driver. Now to the good part, I am an artist, photographer, and designer. At the age of 4, I was doing a lot of drawing and fell in love with art. In the 7th grade, I started my business... selling plastic key chains by cutting out their initials. I did this for a year. I started my 2nd business when I was 16 years old, it consisted of sketching out portraits. After the Marine Corp, I got married and had kids. At this time I needed extra income. I started a graphic art business. With my regular job, and the money, I made from the business made things a little better. Now I'm a Truck Driver, Photographer, and Designer.




 Jahzara Bradley: Wow, William, that is an impressive background. I am interested in your clothing line BAE, tell us how the concept came about and when it came into conception.

 William McCraney: I have other t-shirt designs out there but I realize one thing I wasn't focused on a brand. I was pretty much all over the place. I did some research and realized that the successful Brands had one simple word that describes who they were. They put a popular slogan behind that word which people can relate to. So, I did more research on the most popular words for 2020, and what was trending for clothing designs one of the words was BAE. And the most popular clothing designs were bold, loud, and bright colors. BAE, it's an acronym it has two other meanings one is black and educated, the other is best aunt ever. At that point, I knew I had to separate myself and come up with my own meaning for BAE I did even more research on positive words beginning with the letter b, a, and e. I came up with Bold and Elegant.

The breakdown meaning for BAE/Bold and Elegant.
 B/Bold: A person showing an ability to take risks; confident and courageous.

 A/And: used to connect words of the same part of speech, clauses, or sentences, that are to be taken jointly.

 E/Elegant: Having a strong or vivid appearance. Pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance.



 Jahzara Bradley: This may be a difficult question, but what is your favorite article of clothing in the BAE line and why?

 William McCraney: LOL, I like them all, but, If had to choose one it would be the V neck because it's beautiful.

 Jahzara Bradley: Lol, William, it's a question I like to ask people often. I do understand how it can be difficult to choose one particular thing especially when you have a vast array. I understand that you are looking for influencers to represent your brand. How would one contact you in regards to representing your branding? Are there specific criteria you require for influencers regarding representing your brand?

 William McCraney:  BAE/Bold and Elegant.





 Jahzara Bradley: What is next and on the horizon for you?

 William McCraney:  Menswear.

 Jahzara Bradley: Sounds exciting. Can't wait to see that clothing line. Please let our readers know how they can reach out to you and connect with you on social media.
