Black Owned founder Means Cameron talks post-Covid downtown Cincinnati, overcoming impostor syndrome

Above the Fold

Nov 6 2023 • 51 mins

Host Andy Brownfield and special guest host Chris Wetterich talk about the campaign to convince voters to allow the city to sell the Cincinnati Southern Railway, and its chances of passing; a planned overhaul of Central Parkway into a Champs Elysee-style boulevard; the purchase of a historic downtown building to partially demolish for the new Brent Spence Bridge companion; a new food hall at Newport on the Levee; and resort-style apartments coming to the East Side.

Interview starts at (24:35). Means Cameron felt a lot of impostor syndrome at Miami University, where he was one of very few Black students at a 97% white college. His straight As in high school in the West End translated to Cs in college, but the experience, while alien, was transformative and informed the creation of his clothing brand Black Owned. Means talks about growing the brand from selling out of the trunk of his car to a downtown retail store and adjoining coffee lounge, as well as high-profile collaborations with the Cincinnati Bengals, FC Cincinnati and the University of Cincinnati.
