‘I don’t know why i’m still The target… because they fear my true power.’ – Ignorance Driven Knowledge

AGELESSVONKING

Uniting Knowledge and Style

Ignorance Driven Knits, a Clothing Line with the goal to Counteract Ignorance with creative designs with inspiring and motivating statements. The founder of the clothing line was driven by all of the ignorance in the world and searched for a creative way to raise awareness and knowledge to the public, and on March 14, 2012 Ignorance Driven Knits was founded.

Inspiration Behind the Founder

Jordan A. Coburn – CEO & Founder
“My personal inspiration behind the brand is the black male in America. In 2011 I attained the title of Mr. Claflin University 2011-2012, and with that I presented a platform of rebuilding the African American Male. So that summer and on I did a lot of reading on the black male in America. After a couple of books I realized that there was lot of information that I was ignorant to and I’m pretty sure my peers were ignorant to as well, and then I thought of a creative way of bringing that information to the light.
There is also a sense of responsibility to my family, peers, and community that I felt I had to fulfill and inspire others to do it.”

Much Love to Ignorance Driven Knits. A Powerful brand that we came across tailored for powerful people. There are so many people making changes and invoking the thoughts of change who are coming out and making it known that they are here to stay and here with a purpose and Jordan Coburn. We were estatic at the opportunity to connect with a brand such as IDK because first and foremost it is important to encourage one another!

Besides the message that the clothing line supports, the gear is pretty damn fly. We raffled a few shirts away to the crowd members and the winners were really excited to go online and check out more about what IDK is about. A name goes along way, and so many wear labels, products and brands and have no clue as to what they are wearing or representing and IDK gives us the ability to notice that issue as well as correct it. Big Love to the CEO & Founder of Ignorance Driven Knits for being such a powerful force in the community through his chosen vehicle of expression. Men like Jordan are the people that the youth need to see at the wheel.

FRIDAY FEB 22ND X THEE OPEN MIC X DANNY SEVERANCE

THEE OPEN MIC: BANDS WILL MAKE HER DANCE. LIVE BANDS.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22ND 2013

STREET POETS DEN 1267 ATLANTIC AVE. BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

A TRAIN TO NOSTRAND AVE.

$10 ADMISSION – FREE DRINKS ALL NIGHT – SMOKING SECTION – DEN CAFE

Greetings! I hope all is Powerful with you also. Did you know that the board of education is working steadily; and in some cases have succeeded, in removing music education from their schools curriculum? Yes. I was as shocked to hear the news as you probably are now. So to show how we feel about it, we’ve taken matters into our own hands. We’ve decided to bring song live music to the Teen Open Mic that we host at the community in Brooklyn. We want to show them what we should be showing them in the first place; no need to wait for The Board of Anything. We’ve also decided to spend more time with the kids down at von king community center, so.. it’s not just a once a month thing. Schedules are busy but we’ll find time somewhere to keep a commitment to… some kids we know. (Scroll down to continue reading…)

#WordOnTheStreet BRETT IN THE CITY

New York, New York – Hello and Hello again! This is your truely the STREET BLOGGER and here I go again! So I want to share with you a Comedy series produced by Darren Mallett, Brett Sanders and Ben Logan. It’s a bold comedy that left me intrigued from beginning to end. It also highlights with a slight tease the stereotypes of today, and makes you think once or twice. Most importantly it is hilarious! It’s good to see independent film makers and writers bring back the essence of “Funny”, the show gave me a ‘Sex In The City’ meets ‘Girlfriends’ kind of vibe, it’s dope! Pearl Taylor is also featured in the comedy….with that said, hit PLAY.

Meet The Guys behind BRETT AND THE CITY:

Brett Sanders, Creator/Exec.Producer/Writer 

With the exception of that time he spent in a Mexican prison for male prostitution, Brett Sanders is pretty much just an average guy. The Mexican prison thing was really just a big miss understanding. One day while visiting Tijuana’s Red Light District; out of sheer curiosity, Brett decided to walk up to a group of under cover cops and asked them what was the going local rate for a blow job. However seeing how his Spanish was so horrible, they accidentally mistook him for a gay male hooker trying to negotiate a group rate with them, and then the whole thing just got blown completely out of proportion… (More at BrettInTheCity.com)

 Darren Mallett, Co-Creator/Exec. Producer/Director

Darren Mallett is a producer/director living in NYC. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Tampa, FL; Darren is a graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. In 2006 he founded the Agape Production Group, a non-profit dedicated to providing performance opportunities for young minority artist in Tampa, Florida. A member of Plastic Flamingo Theater Company where credits include: Get a Clue (director) RIP JD (associate dir)Buddah-Nosh (asst. dir).

Benjamin Logan, Exec. Producer/Asst. Director

Benajmin Logan was raised in Tampa, FL where at an early age, he realized that he wanted to be a part of the arts. Early on in elementary school he met Darren and Pearl Taylor (Yvonne); and since that day he immediately prepared himself for a life in film.
After a few crazy years in his twenties, he found himself with a wonderful career as a filmmaker and has since been enjoying every minute of it. Ben says he can’t wait to see what life has to offer further down the road. He is sure that if he keeps collaborating with great people like Brett & Darren: and keep on fighting the good fight, nothing but good will come to him.

More Webisodes? Check out BrettAndTheCity.com – The Street Blogger

The Brett and the City Web Series is directly based on the hit comedy blog by the same name. The blog originally started out two years ago as a series of hilarious and extremely outrageous short literary stories pulled directly from the life of comedy writer Brett Sanders. However after literally thousands of comments and requests from readers all around the world saying how much they would just LOVE to one day see the crazy scenarios acted out in real life. Brett along with Darren and Ben finally decided to take the most popular stories from the literary blog, and turn them into full fledged webisodes.

EPISODE 2: 

Brett and his sock-monkey best friend Bobo, feel threatened by a new employee at CBC Copiers. Brett runs to his wacky therapist, Dr. Jones to find the balls to stand up for himself at work and save his very existence! -Brettandthecity.com

STREET POETS NYC x BLACKLISTED x 5 POINTZ x LONG ISLAND CITY (QUEENS) *

  Queens, New York – Good Afternoon Family! I hope all is Powerful with you also. Recently, we fit as many Street Poets we could into a car and we rode around and got it all the way to Queens. There was an open mic at 5 Pointz NYC. 5 Pointz is one of the most famous spots for graffiti Artist to go absolutely- Soul, on the outside of an abandoned building in Long Island City (Queens).

When we arrived to 5 Pointz we could not believe the artwork on the walls, and went nuts when we found out it was all independent (EVERYTHING)! We couldn’t help to admire, and take pictures with 5 Pointz permission, they were pretty tight about getting permission so make sure you contact them or let them know before you do.

The show had been cancelled because of the expected storm, we didn’t know but Street Poets always ready to spit. Street Poets in attendance we’re Ekhoed Intellekt, Supah Awsum, Parlez, and Hrsh Reyalitee. Beautiful Struggle Productions is always on the scene, as it should be. Soon as the Street Poets started to spit, the crowd grew in size, by time the 3 Street Poet blessed the mic attendance tripled in original size! EKho spit some favorite and finally IntelleKt spit Detox again! Supah Awsum shut it down the second round with “Broccoli” and Hrsh Reyalitee did something new and true. Even G-Wise of BlackListed Minds came through with us and burned the mic up.

For those that don’t know. Clap it up for Supah Awsum! He is a Official Member of the Street Poets NYC Collective. Why? Yes, it is because he is a Poet with a spark of something different that you will never see unless you see him, and no, you’ve never seen it before. Most importantly he is a Street Poet because the Man keeps it’s 100 honest. He lives life like you and I. Grinding until the break of day, even when there is no sunshine. He has also volunteered (before becoming a Street Poet) to be a Mentor to the youth at Von King Cultural Arts Center for the Teen Open Mic; where Hrsh Reyalitee is the host. He also has a website www.SupahAwsumTheVoyager.com, check out the site and Follow @RealSupahAwsum on Twitter. Street Poets are always on the trail, always something to look forward to when a Street Poets hits an Open Mic near you.

 As you know there are alot of changing happening in New York City (none of which we are pleased with), and it’s getting in the way of everyone! The City wants to close 5 Pointz and replace the site with lavish housing developments. Very lame. Let’s help save 5 Pointz NYC and join us down when we head back over there for their next open mic. Did I mention Shanelle Gabriel was the host?!
This woman wears many hats as Poet, HBO Def Poet, Lupus Advocate, but most of all her personality is large! Check out her website here! (Gabrielle site link)


This woman wears many hats as Poet, HBO Def Poet, Lupus Advocate, but most of all her personality is large! Check out the Shanelle Gabriel website here!

We think Shanelle Gabriel is pretty awesome! We kinda want to prove how awesome she really is! So, if you want to see this Poet/HBO Def Poet in the Street Poets Den like this post and let’s and make it happen!

NINA B. X STREET POETS NYC X UNTAMED SOULS

I had the pleasure of meeting the Untamed Souls in Summer ’11, performing in the line up with HRSH REYALITEE as they raised funds towards the rebuilding of a Church in the Bronx. Major shout outs to the UPTOWN FAMILY. Well, here we are a year later; a year stronger, for a year longer. Need more UNTAMED?
