Today we’d like to introduce you to Sydney Fowler.
Hi Sydney, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
It all started in December of 2018, when a rare staph infection formed in my spine, compressed my spinal cord, and paralyzed me. I didn’t understand why this happened to me, but I knew there had to be a reason. Living life in a wheelchair is full of daily challenges. Since my injury, one of the biggest things I’ve struggled with has been confidence. But….when I put on an outfit that was trendy and fashion-forward it made me feel more “normal”. For me wearing an outfit that made me feel confident would change my whole mood for the day. After many months of planning and figuring out what I wanted to do, I created Single Soul, Single Soul is a trendy clothing brand meant to build confidence and inspire women. We believe, “Every single soul has a story, and we want to be a part of it.” It’s now been over a year and we are still growing and working to figure out how we can keep inspiring and helping others feel their best!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There have been many challenging moments when Single Soul. As a 16-year-old, I have to manage school and therapy and all of the other aspects of my life that I want to do. Single Soul is my number one passion and it’s something that I truly love, which is very challenging when you’re trying to finish an English paper and can’t stop thinking about new collections or upcoming business ideas. 2021 has definitely been a year of realization and realizing that every aspect of my life cannot be perfect so I just have to do my best and prioritize my time so I can do the things I love.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Single Soul?

Pleasant, South Carolina, but has an online presence serving customers across the United States. Founded in July 2020, Single Soul’s predominant inventory includes modern, trendy teen/20-something fashion and accessories.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
We would love to grow to have the resources to design an adaptive line for wheelchair users and even potentially step into men’s clothing. we would also like to continue our efforts to become more diverse.
