Romereo Brown
Founder & CEO of Weird and Different Clothing Brand, TJC Alumni

Romereo Brown Jr is the founder and CEO of the clothing brand "Weird and Different," which was started in 2020. Growing up, Romereo Brown was bullied because he was born deaf in his right ear. His peers would tease him and call him names like mush mouth, a character from the popular show "Fat Albert." Romereo embraced his uniqueness and launched himself into entrepreneurship after studying business at Tyler Junior College. His fortitude has led him to create a brand that represents the reinvention of those hurtful words said to him by his peers in a way that embraces the oddness in all individuals. Weird and Different was created to make everyone feel confident in who they are. His vision for this brand is to help everyone who shops with Weird and Different to love themselves authentically and celebrate their individuality.
