RED clay
Xade Wharton-Ali is of mixed Mescalero Apache heritage and was born and raised in Los Angeles. Through his brand, Redclay, Xade aims to tell stories of resistance and displacement that are intentionally suppressed by revisionist western narratives. Redclay references Marxist-Lenenist movements during the 1960s and 70s to highlight solidarity and foster pride in one’s heritage. With a deep love for those who came before them, Redclay is the message passed down by generations expressed through elevated streetwear. Xade embodies Redclay’s message in his full time job, incorporating Indigenous principles into investing and helping allocate capital to socially impactful investment strategies.
