You sometimes meet people and you quickly understand the quality of the human being that is in front of you.
I reached out to Rel Mariano to sit down and chat about him and his story. The iconic ‘From Charlotte With Love’ is worn on t-shirts and sweatshirts by folks all around Charlotte. Husband, father, musician, and entrepreneur, Rel has bigger intentions to make a name in Charlotte with true love. He talked to me about how being a father has changed his life in such a beautiful way. He is more driven and focused and see’s ’From Charlotte With Love’ being handed down to his son years and decades down the line. I got chills when Rel was speaking about a few things because he is genuine and wants the best for himself, his family and everyone in Charlotte. “You look for the positives in every situation, even in the bad.” This pandemic was a good thing for him to not only work his full time job but to grow the meaning of the message and finish his new album that will be dropping everywhere tomorrow (07/10). New Music Friday for all my Spotify people! The man stays busy.
Rel, thank you again for the time. It was great to meet you. Charlotte is lucky to have a man like you in this city to spread the true love that a community needs to move forward, together.
