Life’s Journey has served the Lexington community with street wear and events to help motivate the youth to follow their dreams and keep adults accountable to fulfill their purpose. Along with events Hudson is now speaking and mentoring in schools to share his story with the next generation while providing them with a positive and original take on street wear.
