Pivotal Moment with Nikitta Foston

ROCKaBLOCK CEO develops app-enabled clothing to teach Black culture and history
EPISODE 29 • SEASON 00:32:27

“I don’t let fear paralyze me from making moves,” Rockland Page told Pivotal Moment. “Fear is normal in entrepreneurship, but when you see the fruit of your labor, it propels you beyond them. That’s living the dream.” 

 

Combining style, culture and storytelling, the founder and CEO of ROCKaBLCOK lifestyle brand is making a worldwide impact in the fashion industry. From his humble beginnings making T-shirts in his basement, to fielding TV interviews and design awards, the Chicago native recognizes the opportunity of the moment and the power of his platform.

 

Page’s app-enabled clothing is a reflection of his truth. One of his most popular pieces is the Freedom Fighters T-shirt, representing heroic figures who led historic battles in the fight for freedom. 

 

“I wanted to create a platform for people to have discussions about what these heroes fought for,” he said. “About race, history, equity and how we fought so hard to have a voice. With a simple T-shirt, we can do that.” But T-shirts are only a part of his growing empire. ROCKaBLOCK sells a variety of merchandise including home goods, tote bags, art prints and sporting goods like skateboards. 

 

Page talks to Pivotal Moment about seeing his name on billboards, the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, and the famous entertainer he’d most like to work with in the future. Check out the full episode to find out who!
