The Ovahness Collection, according to its website, "is a 10-piece capsule collection of originally designed t-shirts, along with an exclusive pair of sunglasses. It was created by a collaboration of urban designers who, like many of us, are affected by HIV/AIDS." The collection pieces feature covert symbols and/or messages related to HIV/AIDS. The first iteration of the Collection was sold exclusively at Macy's Beverly Center Men's Store in L.A., with 100-percent of the sales benefiting REACH LA’s Ovahness Young Men’s HIV Testing and Prevention Program. Art & Understanding, a national online HIV/AIDS publication, wrote about the Collection in its November 2015 issue.
