T.W.O. x Freedom Is Never Free x Give By Design x One-Piece Swimsuit

Strength moves with you.

This one-piece swimsuit features the Adinkra symbol Akoben — the War Horn, a historic call to action. It represents vigilance, resistance, and responsibility. Because of that, this design reminds us that past struggles still require present action.

This piece was inspired by civil rights freedom fighter Jafar Saidi (also known as Nafi Hakim and William Borders). His legacy reflects lifelong resistance and continued advocacy for freedom. Therefore, this suit honors action through confidence, presence, and visibility.

Artist Brother Onalaja selected Akoben to represent urgency. Not just inspiration. Not just remembrance. Instead, forward movement and revolutionary action.

The border text reads “Freedom Is Never Free.”
The lettering appears in Afrikan Diasporic Glyph, created by Ajamu Olushegun Iyapo. As a result, the message connects heritage, culture, and future vision into one unified visual language.

This one-piece is built for comfort, movement, and confidence. Supportive where it matters. Smooth where it counts. Designed to help you feel powerful in and out of the water.

Most importantly, this piece creates real impact.
100% of designer proceeds support the Bay View National Black Newspaper, helping sustain independent Black journalism and community storytelling.

Move with purpose.
Carry the message.
