Some messages belong in everyday life.
This hoodie 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 hoodie honors action through everyday visibility.
Artist Brother Onalaja selected Akoben to represent urgency. Not just inspiration. Not just remembrance. Instead, forward movement and real-world 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 culture, history, and future vision into one unified visual language.
This classic fit hoodie is built for daily wear. Comfortable. Reliable. Meaningful. Easy to layer and built to last.
Most importantly, this hoodie creates real impact.
100% of designer proceeds support the Bay View National Black Newspaper, helping sustain independent Black journalism and community storytelling.

Carry history forward.
