Meet the Co-Founder, Business Partner, & Educator
Dericca Gail is originally from southeast and southwest Georgia. She is the daughter of the late Dr. Clara Sheffield and James “Bro” Gail. She is the oldest siblings of two brothers and the stepdaughter of Otis Brooks Sheffield, and Auntie to Camora, Leighanna, Na-Na, and Ava. Dericca graduated from Bainbridge High School and continued her education at The Unsinkable Albany State University, where she majored in Criminal Justice and Political Science. After working for the Department of Criminal Justice for one and a half years, she felt like she was not making a meaningful, positive, and impactful experience for the young people she served. At that moment she knew her purpose was to become an educator, one who develops the skills of empathetic, listening, and communication. These skills have been
developing for over 20 years now! As the song lyrics go, “I get it from my Mama!" In her experience of being an educator, she have been trained in restorative practices, social and emotional learning, and teaching the whole child. She has traveled all over the United States presenting the importance of the social well-being of adults and children. While encouraging participants to promote a positive
environment for all no matter how uncomfortable a situation may be, there is always room for understanding. She has always been a collector of sneakers and t-shirts. When Dr. Jackson kept saying “Know 'Bout It,” the quote struck a chord! It opens one to start a conversation and open communication lines between people that may not necessarily talk to each other. Fashion that is conscious, meaningful, and that aims to bridge gaps between humanity is what our brand promotes. As Nat Turner stated ~” Good Communication is the bridge between confusion and clarity.”
