Solomon never had a clear idea of what he wanted to do when he grew up, however, the day he was excluded from school for the fifth time, he saw his mother break down and cry. From that day on, he vowed that he would make her proud as well as make a positive contribution to society.
Despite school exclusions and most debilitating of all - a stutter, which was a cause of bullying and fights during school, Solomon refused to be defined by society. At just 14, starting with the £2 lunch money his mother gave him the following morning, he utilised his adversities to build resilience and tap into his creative entrepreneurial skills, buying confectionary from the local shop and then selling it at school to "fit in" and make a profit.
Soon after, AttireX was born - a vastly growing customised clothing enterprise, now with 20+ employees and a dedicated client base. Now aged 19, he has recently been ranked by City A.M. in the top 100 most powerful entrepreneurs in the UK and maintains an impressive following through various social media platforms! Ian-Sangala uses his experience to be a role model for other young people battling adversity.
Solomon says, "Although my mouth still shapes words that will never be released, I will never let my circumstances define me."
