Chicken George Express Unity Fashion Founder About Me Page

"I am Chicken George, the founder and creator of this movement, and my life is living proof that purpose is forged in the fire of survival.

This brand’s foundation is built on a truth learned through a lifetime of extreme hardships and struggles. My personal journey has taken me through the darkest places: beginning at the age of 12 when I entered my first juvenile detention home—the start of a cycle that continued with mental hospitals and, as an adult, jail and more mental hospital visits. I was deeply active in the street life, which resulted in a long criminal record. Yet, through it all, I knew my purpose was the opposite. I felt called by God to help my people. The dangers I've faced were not just physical; they were emotional, mental, very scary and lonely.

The desire to fight this darkness began early. Even as a child, through all my struggles, I felt a deep, unwavering calling in my heart to help make my home city of Petersburg, Virginia, a safer place to live. That local love never left. Yet, in the midst of my struggles, I tragically became the very thing I vowed to fight—a 'villain' in my own community.

The image of me on the couch, surrounded by bullet holes that narrowly missed my head, is the single, powerful metaphor for this journey. Those holes represent every struggle I survived to reach this point. I was spared not once, but repeatedly, for one clear reason: to fulfill this national purpose. I never thought this movement would be this big, but to be here now, watching my mission to uplift Petersburg expand and spread throughout the entire United States of America, is a miracle in itself.

The Uniform of Action

I founded this company to channel that survival into visible, undeniable action for the community. The merchandise I create is more than fabric and ink; it is a mobile symbol of redemption and a public demand for change, driven by the hardships and pain I dodged in Petersburg. Is now designed to inspire every corner of the nation.

I create these products so that you can become an active co-creator of this change, transforming your own journey of dodging pain and struggle into a unified, powerful voice.

Wear Your Voice. Live Your Purpose.

DON'T SHOOT!
