I Don’t Like To Return Home Empty Handed.
A proud graduate of North Carolina A&T State University, it’s important that each year I return for homecoming, that I come with something to give my alma mater. In my early post-grad, that has meant showing up, sharing my experience, and creating space for incoming graduates that need a helping hand.
This year though, I have teamed up with an Allstar group of Aggies to bring a new competitive energy to the week of festivities through the game of kickball.
It’s time for the community to get outside of our normal and step on a new field.
Introducing the inaugural
💙BLUE VERSUS GOLD💛
KICKBALL CLASSIC
Aggies are forever expanding our range and showing why GHOE is the Greatest Homecoming On Earth.
In the spirit of fun —we’re pitting Aggies vs Aggies for an epic kick off to the 2025 GHOE weekend!

apparel for the everyday astronaut.
Artists, athletes, and astronauts are more alike than you may know. Our performance is practice. We are on a journey of discovery to the unknown. Our creativity is embedded in our reps. We ignite feelings and push the boundaries of the body, for the sake of art, entertainment, evolution, exploration and more. Intuition is vital in our pursuit. Whether on-stage or on-court, in the lab or on the launch pad, it’s important that we have clothing that can keep up with us.
astral unit is an apparel project rooted in archival research that blends celestial aesthetics with black narratives by leveraging athletic and everyday silhouettes to deliver attire and accessories that can support the many hats today’s artist must wear. With a prioritization in comfortability and flexibility, we hope our apparel will become a part of your world of work, whatever work means for you.
