Our Beginning:

MoContee.Com was created by my husband and I in 2020 right before the pandemic. At first we were only designing Afrocentric jewelry; then we started designing Afrocentric T-shirts & footwear, at the insistence of our amazing customers! To date, we have exceeded our greatest expectations and we are only just beginning! Welcome!

Why Afrocentric Products?

We welcome everyone who shares our love of all-things-Africa! Our work is designed to inspire, uplift, & empower you throughout the course of your everyday-life with constant reminders of our rich African legacy. When wearing or using our Afrocentric products, one has immediate access to a beautiful reminder of our African identity & intrinsic value as human beings who are proudly African in the world! That's why Afrocentric products--the only difference is our's is the best!

Our Purpose:

Our purpose is to be a spark of hope, inspiration & empowerment to a severely neglected class of people who are seen as unimportant, people of African ancestry.

"Black Americans’ social standing in the United States has been shaped by a long history of racism in laws, policies, and practices that has ...exacerbated inequality. This inequality is built into the infrastructure of our country.... These inequalities negatively impact the lives of Black people in a number of ways, ....both adults and children... regardless of their socioeconomic status or social standing." -- Sources: Childtrends.org.
