Black on the Block

Two weeks ago Stefon Diggs threw a Black Owned Marketplace in the middle of the City at Franklin Park with LA Black Owned Brand Builder out of LA, Black on the Block. The LA Based event ran by Char Edwards, and her sister if I’m not mistaken. Char actually modeled for the GoonMilk brand a few years ago when she was an undergrad at Howard before moving to LA. The event was flooded with good vibes and a ton of vendors. I wish I knew earlier it was gonna be such a great turnout, I would’ve had a table out there but sometimes being a customer is cool to especially when everything’s black owned. Stefon personally stopped by every table and even made a few $1000 purchases for support. Love to see it man this was low key a highlight of the summer and can’t wait for them to bring it back! Shoutout to all that were involved!

I didn’t stay long but long enough to fellowship with my good men at Dreams of Triumph and snap some shots of the local celebrities. Dreams of Triumph has been around longer than I’ve had GoonMilk, as a matter of fact i modeled for one of their first beanies back in maybe 2011. Ive always chose to support Val and Darren with their Brand because, they came from the same struggle back when having a brand was new and unheard of, they put out quality pieces, and the vibes are always on 100, each pop up is a hit, and the esthetic is always luxurious. Not to mention we have literally hundreds of mutual friends. Keep Grinding we exactly where we dreamed we be!
