Why seele mit herz?

So many have asked, why seele mit herz?

Why would I pick a german name for my company being an American?
The story itself is soul inspiring and I knew that the name would have to mean something entirely personal for me as my designs, writings and artwork are personal to me.
So, why German? German was my first foreign language before I lived in those Latin American countries and became fluent in Spanish. German was home first. While living outside of the country, I encountered many young Germans who introduced me to their culture and music...specifically the music of Mr. Xavier Naidoo.
Once the German began to come back to me...I started realizing what Mr. Naidoo was singing about and believe me this brotha is very deep. He made me think about my faith and spirituality. Then I visited Germany for the first time and even checked the man out for myself at a concert in Mannheim.
I fell in love with Germany, the people and its immigrants. I ran into an African festival and met some encouraging African brothas and sistas...
Found some truths and changed my life....
I still go back when I can...I even hope that one day I may live there for some time.
So, why seele mit herz designs? Becuase that is what I put into my work...
My soul...and heart.
