The first-generation Americans behind the clothing line Kids of Immigrants (@kidsofimmigrants) want to inspire children in their community. “Diversity IS American,” says Weleh Victor Dennis, who co-founded Kids of Immigrants (KOI) with Daniel Buezo. Weleh was born in California; his parents are from Liberia. Daniel is originally from New York; his parents are from Honduras.
Sparked by the tradition of street vendors in their immigrant-rich Los Angeles neighborhood, the entrepreneurial duo launched KOI in 2016. “Our main principle since the beginning was to spread love and power to people and spark creativity,” says Daniel. “KOI isn’t a political statement — it’s literally who we are.”
