Support Black Youth, Show Your Crown — Shop the Kingmakers Store

This holiday season, you can support Kingmakers of Oakland and uplift our mission by shopping the official KOO Store. Every purchase directly fuels our work with Black boys across Oakland—funding programs like KOO Labs Academy, the Crowns Curriculum, and our youth-led media and storytelling initiatives.

Our store features high-quality, community-favorite items that make meaningful gifts for students, educators, and loved ones. From our iconic Crown hats—available in Blue/Gold, Black/Red, Tan, and Red—to the classic KOO Tee, every piece is designed with purpose and pride. These items aren’t just apparel; they’re a statement of love and belief in Oakland’s young kings.

For readers looking for something special, the “Our Kings, Our Stories” Ultimate Supporter Kit is the perfect way to celebrate the brilliance of our youth. It includes KOO gear and a copy of The Griots of Oakland, our powerful book featuring portraits, stories, and wisdom from Oakland’s young men.

We also offer the KOO Tote, a simple, stylish everyday essential, and multiple formats of Griots of Oakland: Volume Two for those who want to bring our storytelling work into their home, classroom, or community space.

Whether you’re shopping for a family member, a student, a colleague, or yourself, your purchase is more than a gift—it’s an investment in Black excellence.
