The story of my American dream:

I’m on a journey to explore my family’s history and how they arrived in North America, using kente as a lens. This project examines how Black Americans descended from enslaved people have lost their cultural identity. We’re no longer African because our languages, clothes, practices, and religions—our culture—were taken from us. We’re not seen as fully American; instead, we’re given the label African American, which sets us apart. We didn’t get to live the American dream or the story of immigration. Instead, we were forced into slavery and subjected to racial discrimination. Through this project, I’m working to document my family’s history using kente.

Robust Box

Robust Box Mailbox:

Rooted in a desire to receive packages promptly, the Robust design is custom crafted for those who frequently shop online. The Robust gives users a safer alternative for receiving packages that can be left at the door in bad weather or when they aren’t home.

ANGLES AND TAPERS: Form followed function in the creation of the attractive Robust design. Rain will make its way over the edges and down the back instead of on your packages.

INTERIOR GRATE: Robust comes with a convenient interior grate to increase the protection of your packages, keeping them elevated off the bottom surface and making the box easy to keep clean from bugs and dirt.

Roll top backpack:

The rolltop backpack is made for anyone who carries a non-traditional load. It can handle cargo that is not rectangular, is heavy, is not flat and more. The roll top can be curled to different lengths or left unclasped for even more versatility. The wide side pocket is stretchy enough for the thickest, tallest water bottle or umbrella. On the back there is a hidden pocket so valuables can be safely tucked away.
