I get really excited when I feel something that's super, super soft or like really light
weight.
I think what makes me the most excited about Precious Story is that I'm able to share
like all of these things that I love all at once.
My name is Sarah Milks and I'm the founder and lead designer of Precious Story.
I grew up in Plano, Texas, was born and raised there, lived there my whole life until I moved
to college.
Hip hop dancing growing up is like where I felt comfortable and I felt like I could
be myself.
That whole culture of like being at the studio and like dancing, listening to the music
and you're around other people who are passionate about it and so I've carried that through
Precious Story.
Precious Story is a clothing brand.
I've created it based on my own past experiences.
I'm really inspired by Tarina Tarantino when I was eight, it was when I first saw a piece
of jewelry that she did and it was Barbie and I was like mesmerized.
I'm really excited about the hidden messages because those phrases have been like a secret.
Transferring that idea into the garments that have personally affected me a lot.
Being still I think in my own life, like being quiet is when they come the most often.
I think like being still is more than just physically being still.
I think it's possible to be still even when you're moving and I love that idea because
if you're still on the inside, if your circumstances around you change, then you're still okay.
You're able to be content.
Personally I'm using bamboo spandex and that like wicks away.
Come to me as you are is probably, that was the one that was the most important to me
because that impacted my life tremendously.
I was going through a season where I just didn't care if my actions affected anyone
else.
It was really selfish and I was angry in general and frustrated but all I could hear over and
over again was come to me as you are, come to me as you are.
And after about a month of being frustrated like that phrase and like the power behind
it stopped in my heart and healed me.
The idea, the concept of diversity really shaped the way that I am today.
I don't want it to ever be just exclusive for one type of person.
I want it to be exclusive one-on-one between the person.
I create a precious story because I think we're all here on this earth to do something
big and we all have a purpose and I believe that at least currently at this moment in
my life this is the one way that I can influence people because ultimately we're all different
and so our stories carry a lot of weight.
When we're gone that's what's going to be left behind.
