The Full Story
About
The concept of Afrikan Union came as a concept originating around family and the union that brought my family into existence for so many years. The idea Au came to me as we go through the realization that as a people we need to be free. We are not free. We live created a symbolism of us that isnt truth. I wanted to bring a brand from Us to sit next to the greats of Chanel, LV, Gucci, Hermes. A brand that would be centered on giving back to its supporters principally to its black supporters to re-educate a community that once held a nation on its back. We wiped the tables and cleaned the yard, we ensured the success of crops for colonial America. We made America Great through our toil and tears. Even as we were slaves and destitute, we were the Gold for many a colony throughout the West. We are Gold and Au is my brand meant to symbolize the value of black peoples. Without us there would not have been a great US so now we demand representation. I hope to empower my fellow people when they wear this brand so they are unified for progress. Afrikan union's (Au.) mission is to inspire and bring a better understanding about the origins and history of black peoples specifically of the Caribbean and the US while showcasing our western designs.
My name is Janelle Brathwaite and I am the founder and CEO of Afrikan Union, Au. My love and passion for fashion propelled me to create our own Afrikan union brand.
