For years, as a sommelier, I was steeped in an ideology of provenance — legibility at the point of origin as a marker of preeminent quality and good politics. It was a prerequisite for every serious food and beverage establishment. I've been dreaming of bringing that legibility into fashion. Knowing who grew your clothes should carry the same prestige and ubiquity as knowing who grew your food. We've got a long way to go, but I'm proud we've made it possible with COMOCO. Julius' family has been growing cotton in North Carolina for more than 100 years. Time to make that legacy legible.
This is Stephen Satterfield, host of the critically acclaimed Netflix show How on the Hog, who is now a cotton textile manufacturer and founder of Comoco Cotton. He is holding cotton yarn that was produced in NC from cotton I grew on my farm. This is not normal. Its quite unique and historical in many ways. Understanding that black american people can find ownership of the cotton value chain is truly a 21st century event. Im proud that I've had a part in making this historical sourcing point in agriculture and textile history happen. #cottonisourculture #blackcotton
Great to see Stephen’s new entrepreneurial endeavor. Stephen Satterfield was a wonderful guest speaker on entrepreneurship for my inaugural e-ship course at Prairie View A&M University. Hoping for a follow-on guest speaker engagement.
