our story

my mother was a chicago public school teacher, who always emphasized the importance of education and pursuing my dreams. my fundamental learning started at the kitchen table, teaching me how to read utilizing the dictionary and sounding out the phonetic spelling of words. she always made a point of sharing positive words of affirmation to ensure i knew i could accomplish anything i put my mind to.

years later, as i journeyed through some life-changing circumstances, i was reminded of my mom’s teachable and inspiring moments and could hear her saying, “the sky is the limit—you can do it”. it’s funny how I used to question why she kept on telling me these things, but it was in that desolate and dry season of my life when blkboard & chalk was birthed. i decided to marry the phonetic spelling of words and inspirational sayings to develop a lifestyle brand that would bring light and life to my situation and give back to others what was given to me — an opportunity to dream and believe that you can accomplish your goals and aspirations.

words are powerful tools, they have a direct impact on how you feel, what you think and how you move. blkboard & chalk believes that inspiration is the catalyst to greatness!

blkboard and chalk is not just quality inspirational apparel but is a lifestyle brand designed to motivate and inspire generations of men, women and children through fashion and initiatives.
