I HAVE BEEN IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS AND THIS YEAR MIGHT BE THE YEAR THAT MIGHT BREAK ME…I LOVE AND KNOW ALMOST EVERY PERSON IN THIS VIDEO AND I KNOW VERY WELL THAT ISH HAPPENS. HOWEVER THE FAKE POLITICAL THEATRE AND CONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS ARE NOT IT.
THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY BUT IF I HAD MORE REVENUE OR SUBSIDIES AND WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE WHOLE BLOCK BE OFFICIALLY A PART OF HSFF THEN I GUARANTEE THERE WOULD BE LESS BS ON THE BLOCK. JUST SAYING.
I WROTE THIS THE OTHER DAY AND WAS LIKE NAHHHH BUT HERE…
BC IF YOU REALLY KNEW HOW MUCH I DO AND HAVE DONE FOR THESE YOUTH AND PEOPLE WOULD FACTUALLY HAVE YOUR HEART DROP AND EYES TEAR UP. I DO THIS BC ITS A CALLING AND A PURPOSE AND IT WORKS. WE BEAT THE YMCA THIS YEAR LIKE CMON NOW!
HERE IS WHAT I WROTE: IT WAS MUCH LONGER BUT IG RULES…
Holy Stitch is not failing—we are outgrowing our pot.
In two years, we went from zero revenue, to $46,000, to $135,000—193% growth in the last year.
During our first 807 days at 1059 Market, SFPD recorded 858 incidents within 500 feet. Yet reported incidents around us fell 34% compared with the two years before we opened. I am not claiming we did that alone—but lights, students, customers, jobs and life inside a dead storefront matter.
We became the first Market Street Arts Creative Hub. Our Gap activation at Outside Lands drew over 1,000 visitors, and the SF Chamber recognized us as its 2025 Community Champion.
Levi’s sent me a cease-and-desist in the past. With our shared San Francisco denim history, you would think there would be more collaboration by now. I am asking for a real conversation rather I was.
Jeans Actually Made in San Francisco.
Every alteration, pair of jeans and class helps sustain our factory-school and support the youth learning here.

We love you regardless.
Nothing will stop what is supposed to happen.
