Best sellers
Heavyweight white tees, pillows, beanies, four designs. Every one has the same meaning: start now.
Carry It.
Wear It. Rest On It.
The message goes beyond the tee: a canvas tote, a rib-knit beanie and a throw pillow.
From blessing bags
to building a brand.
Jahkil Naeem Jackson grew up in Chicago and started giving back at eight years old, when he founded Project I Am to hand out blessing bags (care packages of everyday essentials) to people experiencing homelessness.
That one idea became a movement: tens of thousands of blessing bags, recognition from President Obama, and three best-selling books.
Trophies is the next chapter. It's clothing that carries the message he has lived since day one.
