An Inspirational Story of AMBITION: Demetrius "Amaree" Taylor

Beyond the Story from Amaree Taylor on Vimeo.

Demetrius is a GREAT friend & supporter of Lipstick & Labels. I have gotten the opportunity to get to know him personally over the past couple of years, & I can honestly say that he is an AMAZING person. Filled with drive, passion, perseverance, & positive energy. We had so many differences, but ONE thing we had in common was our passion. His for basketball...mine for fashion. We have always supported each other, & even though we aren't as close as we used to be.. I will know we will ALWAYS support each other. Lipstick & Labels is a proud supporter & can't wait to go to get footage on his NBA games ;).

This video is a bit long, I'm not going to lie. haha. However, once you start watching, you won't want to stop. Everyone needs to surround themselves with people like this.
