What Makes Jaylen Alive?

Amid the rhythm of the city centre, true style extends artistic vision and personal freedom. In this feature, we connect with Jaylen on the streets of Exeter to talk about human connection, creative communication, and the importance of authenticity.

For Jaylen, feeling fully alive is rooted in fostering genuine interactions and allowing artistic expression to bridge gaps between people:

"Making people feel seen... & freedom & basically all everything artistic includes people. Communicating with people, communication, honesty with each other. We all are missing a bit of honesty in life."

Discussing personal growth and navigating social pressures, Jaylen highlights how shedding self-doubt unlocks true confidence:

"Tries to be more confident. Being yourself, not really caring about anything... anything else that people say & sort of overcoming this anxiety that people might judge you. Being confident is probably the like the key advice I would give anyone, improving your confidence & improving who you are."

Closing our conversation, Jaylen shares a clear, passionate message for the world regarding equality and self-assurance:

"Trans rights & human rights. No one's illegal on the stolen land & confidence is key."
