Ya'll are going to get mad at me for saying this... but no, you cannot hop on the "quarter zip, not nike tech" trend.

Here's why:

Streetwear was born in the Black community. Nike tech = the uniform of the hood. Now Jason Gyamfi has flipped the script, helping young Black men reclaim intellectualism and ambition through style. 

The Black community rejoices 🙌🏾

BUT the wrong brands and people hopping on the trend can very quickly turn this from a cultural reset to a quiet reinforcement of proximity-to-whiteness professionalism.

And that's why you're not invited to the table.

Because Jason didn't create a trend about "dressing up."

He created a moment where young Black men could reclaim intellect, ambition, and soft confidence on their own terms, not to assimilate.

But when outsiders start treating the quarter-zip moment like a marketing opportunity, the narrative subtly shifts:

"This is the version of Black masculinity we can accept."

And suddenly, what started as empowerment becomes another unspoken rule: that Black men are only seen as 'professional' when they edge closer to whiteness.

This isn't about clothes.

It's about allowing young Black men to redefine professionalism, ambition, and identity without their value being measured by assimilation.

Some moments aren't trends. They're transformations.

And they deserve to stay rooted in the community that created them.

According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional leadership, and speaker sourcing. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub (which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature).

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals & entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want. Without burning out, selling out, or turning into a walking LinkedIn bro-post.

If you've got two hours and ~$100, you can help feed 10 families this Thanksgiving.

I got the "meal in a bag" idea from Dollar Tree Dinners, a TikTok creator: buy all the ingredients for a full meal, bag them up with the recipe, and donate the bags to a local org.

So I chose the casserole recipe (green beans, chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy). All in:

↳ Cost: $106 for 10 meals
↳ Time: About 2 hours (mostly spent writing recipes on notecards because I haven't owned a printer since 2008).

The process was way easier than I thought it would be, so I hope this encourages someone else to do the same. I’m already planning to do more this weekend. 

🫶🏽 If you have the time & the means, and want to join me, you can find the recipes here: https://lnkd.in/gpNGZbcb
