I was inspired to create the brand around 2018. During this time, I was in the gym almost every day. A friend of mine worked for an activewear company and told me about a sample sale they were having. My activewear truly sucked so I took advantage of the sale. Later that night at the gym, I had my new set on and I felt amazing. I felt so good, my workout was two hours that night. It was then I knew I wanted to create an activewear brand to recreate that feeling for other people. I also knew if I was going to do this, it had to reflect the women who look like me that value health and wellness.
Roam Loud is a premium feel-good athleisure brand where we encourage you to live and be free and as a brand and community; we are creating a lifestyle where brown skin is at the front and not an afterthought.
Growing up here, I haven’t always felt seen, and that it had an impact on how I approached entrepreneurship, which I believe works in my favor. Invisibility forced me to dream big and beyond the place I lived. I didn’t move with the expectation of support; I just focused on creating a dope brand for a worldwide community that I hadn’t met yet.
I kind of froze in amazement staring at the email. Then I called my sister so we could scream together. The Yanta set did go through a review process but nothing was final, so receiving the congratulations email was an amazing surprise.
I don’t have just one when it comes to food but some recent favorites are 4 Seasons and PiANTA Vegan Restaurant in Providence, and D’s Spot in Pawtucket. Learn more at RoamLoud.com; find Amber Jackson at
