Today we’d like to introduce you to Lucy Crivelli.
Hi Lucy, 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 backstory with our readers?
For the first four years of my life, I lived with my grandparents in Barranca Honda Morelos Mexico. My mom had me at 23, and it wasn’t easy for her. While my grandparents raised me in Mexico my mom was living with her siblings and working in Los Ángeles cleaning houses, serving tables, and trying to give me the best life possible while being away. It wasn’t until she had a place of her own and enough money to pay for me to cross the border that we’d be reunited forever. Eventually, my grandparents followed, and we made our home in Culver City, California.
I’ve always felt so fortunate for the sacrifices my family made to raise me in LA, a city full of culture, beauty, and dreams. It has always inspired a lot of the things I love and a lot of the things I stand for. It’s also a place where visions come true. And it’s why I go so hard for my goals because I know whatever I’m building can become a reality.
Throughout this journey, my priorities have evolved, they have gone from learning – to surviving to building, and living. While always keeping the same goal in mind, to be unapologetically myself.
Today, I am a photographer at heart, and love to create. I am a Community Manager and Executive Producer for Aglet App a sneaker gaming Web3 app. I co-founded my own creative agency 2 years ago, Tomorrow Isn’t Promised (TIP), and recently launched the apparel side of my business TIP Supply. All in all, it’s taken a lot to get here. Estoy cansada, but were accomplishing dreams.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ve always strived to be 100% myself, open to growth, loyal to what I enjoy, and always working towards happiness. Sneakers have had my heart since before I could even afford them. And as I got older and discovered how helpful Cannabis can be not only recreationally but medically, my passion grew to eventually become an advocate for the plant. With tech, it was a different avenue, one that I was always curious about but never had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in until I began working with Aglet. The biggest struggle in merging the three has been finding the right collaborators and investors to believe they can all work together.
TIP, our agency is the bridge that helps us connect it all through our content, marketing strategies, volunteer work, and social impact. For my partner and I, it’s just a part of our lifestyle so understanding how it doesn’t always make sense to others can be challenging. I’m proud to say that we’ve found our own lane and an opportunity to represent what it looks like to break barriers and borders around what the world tells you, you can and cannot do. It was important for us to help de-stigmatize Cannabis across different industries that profit off of it but do not give back to the community that needs it most. Once we knew where God was leading us, we didn’t hold back from balancing work and projects across the three. If I could add more to the list, I would. We I truly live by Tomorrow Isn’t Promised, f*ck a niche, f*ck an algorithm, f*ck what the world thinks, always choose yourself and what you love today.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Tomorrow Isn’t Promised is much more than a Creative Agency. At TIP, we focus on helping Creators, brands, and artists build their visions. It is our mission to diversify the industries we’re across. We wanted to build something that not only our community felt proud of but something we could truly stand by.
Some of the services we offer are; brand building, content creation, social media management, brand partnerships, influencer marketing, and event production. We work with brands and budgets of all sizes. Believing in an idea’s potential and bringing it to life is our superpower.
We want to continue contributing to this cause through building access to resources, funding, and tools that can help us all change our futures.
We believe that our communities can be more than consumers, brands need us to keep thriving. We have the ability to change the narrative in how we support, what we consume, and what we highlight. We can take back what belongs to us by supporting the real rich culture within our communities.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I can’t think of anything that is surprising other than my height. While I’m very proud of being 4’11 [5ft on my license] the occasional “wow you’re short” comments are definitely annoying. The next time you see me and comment on my height, just know I might laugh with you but that shit ain’t funny.
