As the inaugural T-Shirt series, the Warrior Collection hopes to inspire motivation and action in the face of uncertainty.
The Warrior Collection "Akofena"** series was created to highlight the various auto-immune diseases that disproportionately affect BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) especially those of the African diaspora. Inspired by those who seek faith and courage over fear and worry, when you wear the Warrior Collection you carry all those who need a little bit of extra support.
**(Akofena is the Akan Adinkra meaning “sword of war” and is symbol of honor, valor, and courage.)
2020 Sickle Cell Campaign
For the first year of the Warrior Collection, we highlighted Lupus Organizations in honor of my cousin, Theresa, who would have turned 19 this November 2020. And everyday that has passed since her battle with lupus was lost, has been a rallying to fight. In our second year, we are focusing on Sickle Cell Disease/Trait (SCD) which impacts the lives of several of my family members. All of the profit from Warrior Collection items purchased here and fulfilled through printful.com, will be given to different SCD organizations listed in the button/link below.
2019 LUPUS Campaign
The Multicolored Akofena and the Golden Akofena supported the Lupus Foundation of America and the Oyemam Autoimmune Foundation of Ghana. Gear comes in black, navy and maroon.
We are all Warriors! The Multicolored Akofena reminds you that we are all connected. The Golden Akofena reminds you that you are royalty.
