We are in our season of “Black Business” as we showcase inner city businesses that may not get the shine they deserve . Today we talk to a young man , Memphis native , who thrives in his business with using something we often overlook each and everyday … buttons! Otis Knowlton , our guest for today , prides himself in being the “King Of Buttonz”.
“In early July of 2017. God literally woke me up out of my sleep & told me to make pin badge buttons. I didn’t know if I was dreaming or what that even meant at the time but I listened. From that moment O’Buttonz was created. If you’re wondering how I got that name, here’s how I came up with it. I simply took the first letter of my first name & put it with buttons but buttons sounded so boring at the time so I put a Z on the end to give the name extra sauce. It clicked like a seatbelt & we were off for a ride. I almost instantly realized making buttons was my passion. As the chosen one of badges.”
Otis vents to us about continuing to have that hunger for success despite adversity . He prides himself on leveling up every year of his business and how important it is to maintain your passion behind your brand . Check out Otis and and his products here on his website : https://obuttonz.com
