Redclay Ventures is a brand dedicated to telling the untold stories of displacement. Our clothing highlights the connections between cultures that get suppressed by revisionist western history. The brand specifically references community-led resistance movements throughout history in an effort to bring about solidarity and cultivate pride in one's heritage. We AIM to continue our people's legacy, demand the repatriation of Indigenous lands and sacred objects, and intend to bring our communities’ stories of resistance to light. In the future, as a venture capital fund, Redclay Ventures will invest non-extractive forms of capital and provide support to Indigenous and Black founders to help grow their businesses. Our clothing is intentionally cultural and we honor our ancestors through every piece.

He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
