Be Different. Act Together – The Story of Divergent Family

In this inspiring Do The Math 247 "Math Talk" episode, we sit down with the founder of Divergent Family, Demitry Lasu, a brand built on the bold message: “Be Different. Act Together.” Through heartfelt reflections and stories—like the journey from Egypt to Louisville, KY, and ultimately Des Moines, IA—listeners see how Divergent Family’s message, Be Different. Act Together., transforms fashion into a movement that champions unity, community, and belonging. If we take a walk down memory lane, Divergent Family draws some inspiration from the 1980's hit tv sitcom "Family Ties", which revolved around family values, differences, and the changing social landscape. Thank you Demitry for being a guest on the podcast and sharing your story! Grateful for the Sudanese community here in Greater Des Moines, Iowa. Every moment of learning about your culture has been a blessing.
