Our Story
Nearly 20 years ago, First & King was born in a barbershop, though I didn't know it at the time.
It was a regular Saturday afternoon. The chairs were full, barbers moderated debates, and the conversations were loud. A continuous flow of folks from the street streamed through the shop selling whatever you needed — music, clothes, movies, art — all hustling to make something out of nothing.
When I think about that barbershop, I realized it was more than a place to get a haircut. It was community. It was culture. All working hard to make it in a society that offers more contempt than grace or compassion for the Black community.
This reflection struck me and demanded I do something. Something to help my community and Black creators flourish and succeed. And the idea of First & King was born.
First & King is a reimagining of the hustle from that barbershop. A digital block that promotes Black creators redefining fashion, culture, and beauty.
A block of Black excellence.
