Andre’ Wright is a designer, activist, visionary, community builder and world traveler who has dedicated his life to BIPOC. Since launching his own fashion brand out of Iowa City, Iowa, Andre’ has grown Humanize My Hoodie into a global fashion activism movement, designing hoodies for celebrities, Black liberation leaders, allies, and Black youth while staging fashion shows and workshops nationally, educating thousands about the power of fashion to inspire, empower and spark important conversations.
