about us

Thanks for visiting us here at Disobedient Goods & Apparel! I'm Althea Seloover, the human behind the business. I spent the past decade working with incarcerated people toward freedom as a criminal defense investigator, second-chance employer, parole preparation supporter, and advocate.

I like to think of the work we were doing as "figuring out what it is we need to figure out" – what do we need to have eyes on? Where do we know we need support? Where are we so competent, we're not only solid but actually have something to offer others? What have we overlooked? Is there work left to be done? Where? Do we have plans to address the gaps in knowledge or ability? What do we expect to need to tend to or deal with in the future? Do we expect to be prepared? Who are we? What do we do in hard moments? How do we face our shame?
