Carmelo Anthony is applying this to his Propel label with the help of 7 different designers from the black community in fashion and creative arts. Tier NYC, Ghetto Gastro, Shakira Javonni, The BK Circus, Demestik, Does it Even Matter & Barriers Worldwide were enlisted by Anthony to create a piece from the Spring-Summer 21 collection that honors their unified perspective of the Black movement.
