I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Born in New York's South Bronx, raised in Phila the infamous "Saigon".I want to give thanks and praises to the Creator(s), the Ancestors and to the community for without I could not be.I am here to change the face of t-shirts or better still provide a new image of Afrika on t-shirts and accessories. I can not do this alone, I need your help. If you are tired of the current images you see on clothing and want to see something quite different from what everyone else is wearing, Then I have something for you. If you are tired of all the 'commercial' symbols and icons everyone is sporting and feel as though your culture is being under-represented, then I have something for you. If you want something a little more creative and tired of the status quo, then please support AdinkraStudio. Help it become a house hold name. I am working hard to create a newer image of Afro centric clothing and accessories. I am working hard to uplift the image of ethnic people everywhere. I am working hard to create images that are culturally creative and consciously inspired.I am an artist with a penchant for Afrikan/ethnic fashion. I don’t believe in ‘art for arts’ sake’ but I am motivated by meaningful art that is both functional and serve a higher purpose. I believe I can make a difference in the way people of color are portrayed. I am young in this business but very motivated in what people like about themselves. I bring a different perspective to this thing called art.I feel we still have a lot of work to do in our communities. By creating AdinkraStudio, I feel I’m doing my part, that this is my way of ‘giving back’ to the community.Coming from Afrikan American and Latino parents, my art reflects a diverse cultural background resulting in unique, eye catching, thought provoking products.I look forward to serving you, and in joining with me to put the culture back out there in the forefront where it belongs.
