Joy W.

My name is Joy. I own a small business called Be The Difference. This company was established in August of 2014. Most if not all designs or sayings are created to inspire and encourage the wearer and those who see the designs. Some designs are inspired by personal experiences and others from situations I see or hear. I distinctly remember the moment I decided to do t-shirts. I was driving home from an event when for the first time in my life I saw a person “stuck”. They were literally standing on the corner bent backwards just swaying a little. After I drove by it just hit me... I remember thinking, what am I doing, I am no different than the next person who just says to themselves “wow so sad”. I felt I could no longer stomach being the passerby. It took guts and I battled fear of being rejected to create the Addiction Kills The Family shirt. I am at the point where my concern lies in comfort and support.
