More than just a clothing brand owner, Dawney is a cultural force. A visionary. A true product of her environment, where resilience wasn’t optional it was survival. Her journey from sneakerhead to the founder of the fast-growing Lifestyle Clothing Brand is rooted in authenticity, grit, and a deep love for her city.


“Growing up in St. Pete really shaped who I am,” Dawney says. “I watched my single mother push through every obstacle with strength and grace. That kind of energy that determination it became a part of me.”


That same energy pulses through every piece in her collection. Inspired by the streets she walked, the culture she lived, and the lessons she learned, Dawney’s brand is more than fabric and logos it’s a statement. A reflection of his upbringing in a community full of go-getters and creatives, where style wasn’t just fashion, it was identity.



The Hustle Started Early

Before she ever dropped her first collection, Dawney was already moving like a young mogul.


“There were times I felt overwhelmed, but the vision kept me going. I wanted to create something that spoke to the culture of St. Pete and inspired others to go after their dreams.”

Challenges Only Sharpened the Vision


Building from the ground up came with its own set of battles. Wearing every hat in the business designer, marketer, customer service, and CEO. Dawney learned the hard way what true entrepreneurship looks like.


“The biggest challenge was balancing it all. It’s easy to get stretched too thin. But I had to learn to trust the process, stay disciplined, and give myself grace.”

Instead of setbacks breaking her, they built her. Dawney turned pressure into power and used every misstep as fuel. What came out on the other side was a stronger, sharper, and more focused creator.

Milestones That Matter

We ask her about her proudest moments, and she won’t just name names though plenty have rocked her gear, from local rap stars to cultural influencers. Instead, her heart lies in impact.

“Seeing my brand in stores and on respected names feels amazing, but one of the biggest accomplishments was giving back to the community.”

In a full-circle moment, Dawney hosted a back-to-school event that offered free haircuts for kids in the very streets that raised her. It wasn’t just charity it was purpose. Proof that when you build from the heart, your success becomes bigger than you.


“That day reminded me why I started. This brand ain’t just about clothes — it’s about culture, community, and leaving a legacy.”


A Lifestyle, Not Just a Label


Today, Lifestyle Clothing Brand stands as a symbol. A badge of pride for those who move with intention, hustle with heart, and never forget where they came from. With exclusive drops, high-quality pieces, and a growing loyal fanbase, Dawney is crafting more than fashion she’s crafting a movement and she’s just getting started.


“Every time someone wears a piece from Lifestyle, they’re wearing the story of St. Pete. They’re wearing resilience, style, and that DawneyFresh mindset bold, original, and unapologetically real.”

From candy sales to custom threads, Sidawney Edwards’ journey is proof that when passion meets purpose, greatness follows. And in the world of culture, fashion, and community impact DawneyFreshAss is a name that’s here to stay.
