HILLARY BROWN

WHAT’S MY NAME? HILLARY BROWN
FOUNDER OF THREADS + THINGS/WMN

My desire for creating Threads and WMN stems from being surrounded by such strong, driven women my whole life.

My mom had me when she was just 21. She was still learning about herself and what it meant to be an ‘adult.’ Her life was put on pause and she had to fast-forward everything, tune out all the bullshit and raise me. She worked multiple jobs and worked her ass off to be one of two providers for little ol’ me at the time. She was a HUSTLER; both my parents were. I didn’t quite give her the appreciation and respect she deserved back then, but I realize it now and damn.. It must have been a whirlwind for her, considering I’m 28 and still tryna figure shit out.

WHAT'S MY NAME? VIVIAN SOTO

Talking about my story openly is difficult. Not because I feel shame or embarrassment, simply because of reliving past trauma. Being a woman is hard enough but even harder with external pressure such as being a minority, the firstborn, and desiring success etc.  Those pressures become challenges and obstacles as you get older. No one can prepare you for Life, I mean our parents try but they are barely keeping it together (something you realize as you get older). So, considering obstacles I have faced in my 26 years of life, I realize the journey is what matters. We always want to talk about triumphant moments because the culture we live in make it significant. We love to glorify beauty and perfection even though we are all human and know very well life is imperfect.

BROADCAST JOURNALISM & DOCUMENTARY

My first time picking up a video camera was 8 years old. I begged my parents that year for a video camera and one of those little TV’s that had the VHS slots in it. I always knew I was fascinated by that type of art, and wanted to document life around me, but I didn’t know it until I got older and started to evaluate what really was important in my life.
