Today we’d like to introduce you to Christopher Sumner.
Christopher , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Growing up as a military brat, I had the privilege of living in places like Oklahoma, California, and Germany. Those experiences exposed me to diverse cultures and styles, deepening my love for fashion on multiple levels. My greatest influence was my father — I used to love watching him dress, and he was the one who taught me how to tie a tie.
What began as simply dressing to look and feel good evolved into something greater. I started styling others — family members, pastors — and eventually it grew into a personal movement, helping young people not just look better but also feel confident and overcome life’s challenges through fashion.
My creative journey later expanded into acting, starting in high school and continuing into new opportunities. In 2018, I launched my first podcast, which has now grown into a global platform, reaching audiences across the world through Voku TV.
At the heart of it all, fashion remains my passion — it’s more than clothing; it’s a way to express purpose, confidence, and transformation.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My journey in the industry hasn’t been easy. I’ve battled with self-doubt, often being my own worst critic—asking myself, “Am I good enough? Can I really do this?” Along the way, I’ve faced betrayal and disappointment from people I once trusted. But through it all, I kept pushing forward. My drive to help my family and friends gave me the strength to overcome every obstacle and keep chasing my purpose.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a model, actor, creative, TV personality, podcast host, and lover of the arts. What sets me apart is my drive — the passion to help others while staying true to myself in everything I do. I’m most proud of getting over my fears and stepping out on faith
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
Success to me isn’t just about fame or recognition — it’s about growth, purpose, and impact. It’s about pushing through challenges, staying true to who I am, and inspiring others to keep going no matter what.
