MZ Wallace Partners with Ashlee Muhammad for Limited Edition Design
MZ Wallace is proud to partner with Ashlee Muhammad — stylist, influencer, and founder of Harlem-based brand BeEyeConic — on this limited edition design. Proceeds from the sale of this sold out style supported a mural project for New York City's P.S. 149 Sojourner Truth School through the non-profit organization #TakeCareofHarlem.
The #TakeCareofHarlem Mural Project
Funded by this collaboration, world-renowned, locally-based artist Andre Trenier created an eye-catching mural along the wall of Harlem's P.S. 149 Sojourner Truth school. Celebrating the achievements of Black men and women, from politics to the arts, the mural encourages school kids and community members alike to pause and reflect on their incredible contributions to society. The mural's prominent, public placement makes it a piece of art that is free and open for anyone to enjoy — at any time.
