I’ve been off the platforms for a while but thou

I’ve been off the platforms for a while but thought I’d return to share a fantastic opportunity I participated in… I was invited to be a guest speaker for a group of young aspiring students in the AVID College Prep program at Tigard High School and was asked to share my story and path as an entrepreneur. The students asked some great questions and gave some great feedback on Akepele Apparel. I benefited from their energy so much, I definitely needed that.

Thank you Eljean for the opportunity and thank you @liquidbeat (Matt Melkin) for suggesting me for the opportunity. Tigard High School is a beautiful campus, very impressive.

One of the few pictures of me dancing. This was at showcase we did at an Import Car Show as part of the Jam Squad, the dance group for KXJM Portland’s Jammin 95.5 radio station.

We were pretty dope as a unit. We were a collective of BBoys, music video style hip hop, African, tap, etc… we came together and created some great sets.

We performed on stage at numerous concerts that came through Portland in the late 90s-early 00s.

Unfortunately, we didn’t take many photos nor have much video of our shows. It’s all just a memory.

Here’s a little insight into one of Akepele’s

Here’s a little insight into one of Akepele’s
collaboration pieces. This design was
done by the infamous Brian “Tazroc”
Garcia specifically for Akepele Apparel

I’ve always respected his hustle and have been
a fan of his work since we met so I was
honored to do this collaboration.

In recent time, @tazroc has been overseas
leaving his stamp on some very notable
projects including contributing a section
on the Guiness Book Of World Records
Longest Mural!!! Pretty Dope right? Currently he’s putting his artistic stamp on some food trucks in Maui!!!

Put a piece of hip hop culture in your wardrobe. These tees are available now on Akepele.com

Happy 40 year anniversary to one of the original Hip Hop films, the cult classic, WILD STYLE!!! Released 11/23/1983.

If you haven’t seen this film yet, do yourself a favor and do so. It’s available on Amazon Prime. The film features some influential pioneers of the culture and serves as a fairly accurate portrayal of happenings during Hip Hops formative years.

Two cult classic films, each with 🔥🔥🔥soundtracks.

Which film do you feel had the better soundtrack, Menace II Society or Boyz N The Hood?!?

I’m rolling with Boyz N The Hood!!! I feel song for song, this soundtrack held more timeless gems.

What do you think???

One of the hardest working people I know. My frien

One of the hardest working people I know. My friend Cliff aka DJ Klyph. When I say he does it all for the love of the culture, I mean it.

He’s skillful at his 9-5p helping people feel better mentally and physically, he’s a successful podcast creator & host, radio show host, content creator, DJ, event curator, people connector, and now Akepele model. I’m honored and grateful to have the support of this guy right here.

Thanks for taking time to snap this photo and share it for people to see how fly Akepele Apparel is!!!

I’m excited to announce that Akepele Apparel has connected with with good people at @upupbookspdx to feature one of our tees in their new brick and mortar store.

Up Up Books just opened an awesome new bookstore, yes tangible books, in the Buckman neighborhood across from @revolutionhall.

They have a well rounded selection of books by independent authors, from cookbooks to cannabis and self-help to children’s books. They also have puzzles and games and a creative space you can reserve for FREE!

Currently, we have our Music Unity tee on hand in the store, XS-XL. So, you can support two local businesses when you grab a book and a tee from Up Up Books.

Their official Grand Opening celebration will be Friday March 3rd.

Up Up Books PDX
1211 SE Stark
Portland, Oregon.

So, last night as I began breaking down the pop-up

So, last night as I began breaking down the pop-up shop @portlandstateuniversity I’m approached by a professor, Brian McCarthy, who asks if I’d be interested in speaking to his MBA class.
”I have a crazy idea, would you be interested in sharing your story with my class of about 30 students?” I excitingly obliged and gave a about 20min session with a fantastic Q&A. While wrapping up we decided to record a brief video for “TikTok!”
