"Sitting watching my mother sacrifice so much of herself for me, made her become my biggest drive", is what Stefon said to MMW Blog today, " My father was never really in the picture", "I had small interaction with my father, but it always focused around money issues", "there were never really any I'm proud of you or pats on the back" Is what else was said to me over the phone as Stefon struggled to pull himself together through tears. Talking about his past, how he watched his mother struggle, and make sure he had all that he needed even when she didn't have anything, and putting him through school, made him realize he was destined for greatness, the same thing he would tell his mom repeatedly, also seeing his mother struggle gave him his first taste of ambition! "All the fashion and industry isn't new to me simply because I wanted this all my life", Opening up about his involvement in the industry, Stefon let us in on how he remembered sneaking out of his mothers house to skip school and catch the train to Downtown Philly, New Jersey, or New York to network and make different connections, even attend meetings with major industry moguls just because he loved entertainment so much, ending up in all kinds of places; even landing a small spot in a Jay Z and Freeway video, and at 16 any progress was great. Always aiming for the BOSS man spot he was turned away repeatedly for being too young, but it never stopped him from letting these people know that he was going to be great, and this isn't the last time you'll see him.



Well Stefon was right because he went on to do many great things like set the tone for his family by being the first college graduate and receive a degree without falling into the stereotype of his family; and he's still moving, slowly, yet quickly conquering his dream of becoming a Celebrity Fashion Stylist; Landing major clients like Reality TV Star Austin Maxfield, Singer/Songwriter Lil Mo, Newest YMCMB Member Rapper Mystikal, networking at private and backstage events, and just meeting all kinds of new people. "If its anything I want people to take from this interview its that GOD is GOOD and he gets all the credit, I get none its good to be recognized but I'm just doing what GOD made me to do, I prayed to him, left my problems on the alter and look where I am today". One Thing Stefon really likes to make clear is his relationship with GOD, he even said " I want to be a different stylist, I really want to pray with my clients, work, and just discuss the goodness of GOD's Blessings". He went into how 7 months ago before all these blessing started taking place he was in a really low spot, he steadfast, prayed, and continued to go to church but the stress of not being able to find a Job, facing the peak of eviction from his home, transportation malfunctioning on him, having to reach out to others for help and having the doors closed on his face, family turning there backs on him took its toll, but at the same time it made him push harder for the success he wanted. ZOE DUPREE focus is telling the world and the generations to come never stop dreaming because they do come true, ZOE said he would like use the gift from GOD to tell his story to inspire the next person to strive for their goals! Mr. ZOE DUPREE Left us with 2 things a quote "Fashion Fades, But Style is Eternal" and some encouraging words stating "I'm Not trying to make anyone go to church, but you need to pray and talk to GOD let him show you something's".

Stefon Allen (a.k.a) ZOE DUPREE has always been a dreamer, but recently there has been no reason to dream when it's currently your reality!  This ambitious, young man has given a whole new definition to NETWORKING and GRIND. Earlier today I was honored to organize a mobile interview with Stefon, getting the chance to fully understand him, his vision, what he's doing next, and more importantly what he has over come.

​

Raised in Norristown, Philadelphia Stefon has always had a keen sense of style as far as he can remember. In his eyes what appears different to others made perfect sense to him, and that's something he embraced; Stefon says: "my style I would say is a mixture between very Modern and Pop" and "I just wear what makes me happy at the end of the day", but please don't let the well-tailored, star-studded appearance, twist your reality, Every diamond has its rough, and before you can "SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND", you have to go through all kinds of pressure and being smashed repeatedly.
