Kemio, continued the #StopAsianHate conversation via a T-shirt collaboration in the United States in July 2021.

Kemio partnered with Private Policy and Uprisers on the creation of a T-shirt, the proceeds from which will be donated to nonprofit Hate Is a Virus. The shirt, $30, will be sold via Uprisers’ website.

“I wanted to use my platform to raise awareness to the community,” Kemio told WWD via phone. The shirt design incorporates a flower, the type of which he did not specify, that his grandparents would keep in their home in Japan. Kemio celebrated the launch with a party at the Public Hotel on July 8.

The significance of the shirt, said Siying Qu, Private Policy’s cofounder, is “respect for the AAPI community.”

This collaboration was featured in Top Media websites such as W Magazine, WWD, CFDA, Yahoo! and Hypebae.
