This brand was born in one of the darkest times of my life.

After losing my brother Steven (Y.T.) —who was tragically murdered—my world fell apart. I stopped doing everything I used to love: working out, going out, even cooking a simple meal. I lived off frozen dinners and survival mode. The grief was heavy, and so was the weight of just existing.

But slowly, I started to move again.

Not for my body—but for my mind. For my soul.

Movement didn’t erase the pain, but it helped me breathe through it. It reminded me that I was still alive. That I could still fight for some kind of peace.

Y.T. Wear is for the people like me—like you—who keep going even when it hurts.

It’s not just about lifting weights or breaking a sweat. It’s about rebuilding yourself, one rep at a time. It’s for the ones who show up, even when they’re mentally low, emotionally drained, or heartbroken.

Whether you’re grieving a loss, battling mental health challenges, healing from a breakup, surviving family trauma, facing chronic illness or health issues, or just trying to get through the day—this brand is your reminder that pain doesn’t make you weak. It proves your strength.

Every piece of Y.T. Wear is designed to honor the fighters.

The ones who cry, then lift.

The ones who fall apart, then lace up their shoes.

The ones who may not feel strong—but show up anyway.

Because healing isn’t linear. Strength isn’t just physical.

And none of us have to go through it alone.

We will get through this—together.

One movement, one moment, one breath at a time.
