The Magical Bird
When Abraham was younger, his father always used to tell him a bed time story about a magical bird that lived in a forest, far from their village called “The Scarlet Macaw”. Hundreds of years ago, this bird was known for healing those who have been extremely ill, & even bringing some back to life! The story intrigue Abraham and he refused to sleep until hearing the story every night. As the years went by, Abraham grew older and eventually outgrew bedtime stories. When Abraham reached the age of 16, his father grew extremely ill. He was taking to the best of the villages doctors, but they all said the same thing, there was nothing they could do to help him. Abraham and his family were left hopeless and were ready to give up. One night Abraham had a strange dream of a magical bird, calling him to come to the forest. When he woke up he immediately told his family the news and his mom refused to let him go. “The forest is extremely dangerous she said” and no one has even heard of the magical bird for hundreds of years”. Abraham did not care. All he had in his mind was finding that bird and hoping it’s healing powers would heal his fathers sickness. That same night Abraham snuck out of his village and journeyed to the forest. He traveled for 2 days nonstop before reaching the forest. As soon as he walked in he felt the danger that awaited him. Seems as if his father failed to mention that the forest was full of black glowing birds with huge wings. At first he thought they were dragons. Though Abraham was scared he knew there was no going back. He couldn’t imagine life without his father. The forest was huge. After traveling for hours Abraham found a huge tree with a big enough hole in the bottom for him to rest for a bit.

From Lost Black Boy To Found Black Man
Inspiration is an understatement, when it comes to this BLACK KING! My biggest inspiration, is a 28 year old African American who goes by Yusuf Abraham Kamara. Most call him “Minds”. From living in Africa most of his life, to single handedly building a clothing brand bigger than he could have ever imagined, within the past 7 years (in California). He has impacted many artists around the world with his clothing brand “Affiliated Minds”. As a lost boy/artist, he always felt as if he was always trying to create a home for himself. Needless did he know he created a home for himself and thousands of others through his brand! He has sponsored over 3000 people throughout these past 7 years, even when his bank accounts were in the negatives. The most astonishing thing about him, is that the majority of his 60,000 followers have no idea who he is! It’s extremely rare these days, to see someone THIS PASSIONATE about what they’ve built. I’ve never seen anyone deny money as much as him. A true giver indeed. He once told me, that he sees things in people way before they see it in themselves, which is why he’s sponsored so many underrated artists, to give them something to believe in and keep going. To give them a place to always call home.
