Genius Child inc is a Black Owned Exculsive Streetwear Accessories brand based in Jamaica , Queens. The name Genius Child comes from an unpublished poem from the late Harlem renaissance poet Langston Hughes archive. The poem resonates specifically to the way Hughes compares the genius mind to being wild and untamable and then concluding by the only way to tame a genius child is literally to kill them. This creative yet dark comparison of a genius child became an inspiration. Launching the Genius Child brand in 2019.
“Welcome to the University” brings those creatives singled out in Hughes poems into modern day comparing them to a community.
This community consist of a mixture of ethnicities,cultural backgrounds and artistic misfits.
The brand takes these differences and brings them together as one creative collective of geniuses.
