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.

Interview pro-tip: Create an info deck and share it as a follow up. I did this in my process with Meta. I’m not saying it’s the reason I received the job, but it seemed to have helped💡#Postvember

About Zuri

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate 🙏🏾 This particular year I’m extremely thankful that I have been able to experience my wins with those who matter most to me. Special thanks to The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) for naming me as a 2025 Rising Star. I am even more thankful that you all allowed my mother to witness me accept the award 🏆 #Postvember

No alternative text description for this image

#Postvember is complete 🥵 I posted everyday on LinkedIn for the month of November and it was such a success 🚀 Now let’s unpack the rationale + results from the past “30 days straight!”

🧐 Rationale
-I had a lot of content to post tied to my roles in marketing at Meta and as founder of The Village 🫂  
-I was inspired by Kai Cenat Mafiathon concept where he streams on Twitch for 30 days straight

🤯 Learnings
-Day of the week you post doesn’t matter as much (my best performing post was on a Saturday)
-Horizontal videos, images, and docs resonate (my best performing posts were those formats)

🤩 Highlights
-Awareness compared to last month
179,414 Impressions (+253%)
61,392 Members Reached (+324.4%) -Action compared to last month 
4,981 Engagements (+321.7%)
3,920 Profile Views (+1,160)

🤔 Ideation
-Collaborative posts is a feature LinkedIn should implement with a quickness (ref: Instagram)
-Pinned comments is a feature LinkedIn should bring back, comment culture is real (ref: TikTok) 

Above all else, I am utterly grateful to see 10 creators join me in the concept I pioneered 🙏🏾 cc: aisosa s. E., Anthony C., Bianca Brown, Briana Ford, Jaia Jones, Kamina Griffin, Kayla Williams, Nigel Hammett, Nyala White, Xav H.

Zuri Godfrey - Creator Rewind

It’s not everyday you get a chance to converse and collaborate with a creator the size and scale Cleo Abram is and has so helping the team roll this out was even more special 💯

Take a look at Cleo’s explainer video of Meta Ray-Ban Display and comment your thoughts! You might even see a WhatsApp message from me to her if you look close enough 👀 

It’s always a collective effort so kudos to Andrew Wu, Bianca Spada, Carolina Arguelles Navas, Courtney Delude, Ethan Arnowitz, Raashi Rosenberger, Whitney Curry, and Xavier Roberts for their shared ownership in this asset 🙏🏾

The Village 🫂  partnered with the San Francisco 49ers by way of SEBE Foundation for a College Student Gameday Experience 🏈 It was a three part activation that included:

🔥A tour of their corporate officers paired with quick fireside chats with their executives and senior leaders

🎥 Behind-the-scenes look in Fox’s production trucks where we learned what it takes to produce a gameday

👀 Had pre-game field access as players warmed up and watched the entire game from the press box

Immense thank you Avis Roper for allowing our village to be apart of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity 🙏🏾 #Postvember

Sharing another one of our contextual OOH placements, this is outside of Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA 🌴 Have you ever practically watched a game through your phone because you’re recording? Meta Ray-Ban Display allows you to keep your phone in your pocket and record your POV with a zoom feature to ensure you capture every angle 📸 #Postvember

Not my work by any means — I recently experienced Spotify’s Frontrow Session presented by Ray-Ban Meta that featured a phone-free concert with Don Toliver and had such a blast 💥 Congras to the home team on a successful brand activation! #Postvember 💐 to Chaka, Cris, Erika, and so many more.

Lewis Hilsenteger is one of the top tech creators and we partnered with him to annouce Meta Ray-Ban Display in his native style of unboxing 📦 His video is one of our best performing social shares, give it a watch 📈 #Postvember

OOH is one of my favorite marketing tactics and in our media buy, we included strategic placements. This execution is at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA adjacent to a Ray-Ban store where you can book a demo and purchase Meta Ray-Ban Display 👓  

Shoutout to our agencies, creative, and media teams for their diligence in bringing this into fruition 🙏🏾 Amanda Clements, Brian Coate, Maggie Peuler, Omar Tucker, Rosie Breen, and so many more Metamates who contributed! #Postvember
