FAQ

Is Asili Roots Black-owned?

Asili Roots is co-founded by Martin and Veronicah — a family, not a concept. Veronicah is Kenyan. Martin is not Black, and we won't pretend otherwise. But this brand was never built from the outside looking in. It was born from belonging — from family, from years of being received not as a visitor but as a son, a brother, an uncle. From a traditional Kenyan wedding. From children who carry African roots.

We are family-owned, African-rooted, and built with love, care, and deep respect for everything this culture represents.

What should I expect when wearing Asili Roots clothing?
