We exist to flip fashion into action. Every tee and hoodie we create is protestwear: bold graphics, unapologetic truths, and designs made to amplify movements that matter. This is clothing built to raise hell for the right reasons and give power back to voices too often ignored.

But it’s not just about what we say — it’s about what we do. That’s why every drop contributes to nonprofits fighting for AAPI justice and LGBTQ+ lives. Born in Los Angeles and shaped by the resilience of a third‑generation Japanese American story, we carry forward a legacy of protest and healing.

At Black Raven Studios, our mantra is clear: Change > Heal > Transform. We’re not here to blend in — we’re here to build a movement you can wear.
