At the core of Curtis L. Dawkins is love -- hence, the emergence of the brand SLAH Nation - simply put, Spread Love Abandon Hate.
SLAH Nation is a national brand established to spread the message of love, and centered upon the extraordinary love of true creatives sharing their gifts and talents.
Curtis' adoration for people and the community inspired his pursuit of higher learning as a 2015 Honors Graduate of Gupton-Jones Mortuary College where he excelled in networking, perfected his craft and exercised love to even strangers.
Upon graduation, Curtis returned from ATL with a vivid vision to serve his SC community and promote the brand SLAH. Supported by the SLAH Nation Team, Curtis volunteers at homeless shelters, children's homes, soup kitchens and hosts panel discussions, car shows, art galleries, and pop up shops.
Curtis’s latest efforts with SLAH landed the brand in Westgate Mall located in Spartanburg, SC. Alongside Curtis, Travis Dawkins and JC Caldwell opened the doors of LOCAL BRAND OUTFITTERS on November 1, 2020. LOCAL BRAND OUTFITTERS is the epitome of an olive branch, offering a public platform and space for brands and creatives to showcase their work.
Curtis has the unshaken belief that "the road to success isn’t straight and often times can be is trying, but with goals, hard work and determination anything is possible. Even the word impossible says, “I’m” possible!"
