African taste to break the limitations in our minds
One day, I was blessed to meet mud cloth. From day one, I became fascinated with mud cloth. I could hear my ancestors calling to me through the mud cloth. Something said, “give away all of your present clothes and only wear Mud Cloth” officially changed your name, and your African roots will find you. Over a certain amount of time, I discovered that my DNA from my father’s side was 100% from the Obamba tribe of Gabon.

I was never a dashiki-wearing individual. Being a product of North Carolina, old schooled, I was always taught to blend in, be conservative in my manner, God fearing and in serious denial about my blackness here in America. During my college years I learned a lot about the world, who put it together, who decided to take charge.  In the process of learning all this information about world development, I became a social worker. 

I started a clothing line to bring me into further consciousness about who I am as a so-called Black man in America. It turned out that the clothing line for me and many others seems to be a “gateway to consciousness” about who we are which will let us to know where to go.
