I’m Kennedy Crisp, the proud owner of Anxiety Sucks LLC. At 19, I'm from St. Louis, Missouri, and currently a sophomore at Spelman College studying economics and international studies. Mental health awareness, shaped by my own experiences with anxiety, is a cause close to my heart. For a long time, anxiety felt like my biggest weapon against myself, leaving me suffocated and voiceless. To cope, I turned to creating apparel, finding peace and therapy in the process. What started as a simple graphic design idea in 2021 blossomed into Anxiety Sucks LLC by 2022, aimed at promoting mental health and wellness. Launching my first apparel line, "Anxiety Sucks," was a game-changer, inspiring others to embrace their unique selves. My motto, "No anxiety formed against me shall prosper," inspired by Isaiah 54:17, captures my journey and conviction that anxiety won’t defeat me.

Talking about mental health can feel like breaking chains. It’s hard, but every conversation brings us closer to freedom. Anxiety Sucks is our declaration: we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you. It isn’t just clothing; it’s a key to unlocking understanding and compassion. Wear it to start a conversation. Wear it to break the chains. Together, we break the silence, one hoodie at a time.
