Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry teamed up with the cash back reward program Rakuten to elevate independent black designers.
In an exclusive interview with People, Curry, 35, shared how he felt about the partnership with Rakuten to give black designers more recognition.
“It’s an awesome way to create representation in a field that needs it,” the basketball star said. “I’m no designer, I’m no fashion mogul, but I know there are creative ways to shine a light on some amazing talent.”

Curry added, “I’m excited for the world to see these designers on a new stage.”
Curry will host conversations with designers represented by the Black In Fashion Council, whose mission is to “represent and secure the advancement of Black individuals in the fashion and beauty industry,” according to its website.
He will also wear looks from the designers in tunnel walks to support them and give them a platform to shine.
“Most of the designers I’ve met for the first time. I heard their stories of how they got started in the industry and what inspires them and their brand,” the four-time NBA champion explained.
