Kids of Immigrants works in collaboration with migrant charity organization Border Angels on a limited edition hoodie design. The duo draws in the help of 'Empress Of' to model the hoodie entitled 'Love Has No Borders.' Notably Kids of Immigrants was founded by Daniel Buezo and Waleh Dennis, who are both first-generation Americans with parents in Liberia and Honduras. The two spent some time doing volunteer work with Border Angels and from there, sparked inspiration to start work with the organization.
This resulted in the Love Has No Borders hoodie -- it is a light gray color adorned with a vintage-esque slogan at the front and the rear. The chest reads "KOI," the right arm reads "Spread Love," and the pocket showcases Border Angels' website. All profits gathered from the piece will go towards a Border Angels shelter wing located in Tijuana -- the limited edition piece is now available for purchase until February 28th online at Kids of Immigrants.
