Supporting equality.
The concept for P.O.W.E.R. began to take form 25 years ago, as the brainchild of Marco Kane. P.O.W.E.R. is an acronym for People Of Wisdom Erase Racism. Having a strong desire to find some way to help eradicate racism he had experienced in his own life, Marco began looking for avenues through which he could couple his own love for people with his entrepreneurial spirit.
The name
The name “P.O.W.E.R.” was inspired by the organization “POWER”, founded in 1994 by Marco Kane (President). The purpose of POWER was to bridge the gap between people of all races. During more than fourteen years working in the retail clothing and footwear industry he observed that one thing teens and young adults of all races have in common is sports, entertainment and urban style streetwear. With that observation as a starting point he began looking at ways that he might bring people of all races together while operating his own retail business. His experience in the clothing business and his observations of the similar tastes in styles, made him aware of the potential that retailing urban street wear will have, to accomplish this in an informal and unthreatening atmosphere.

It all begins with an idea.

No matter what colour or where
You’re from… with people of wisdom you’re

I know this world is full of hate and crime
And all our people, we’re just wasting time
Why should we have to fight and kill at war?
When we know the Lord doesn’t approve.
