Revolutionize Your Wardrobe: Discover the Mind-Blowing Solar-Powered Jacket Taking Fashion by Storm!

Get ready to have your mind blown by the latest tech-fashion fusion that everyone will be talking about! Meet Daryl "DJ" Riley Jr., an ambitious North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University grad who is turning heads with his groundbreaking creation: a wireless solar-powered charging jacket. Yep, you heard right! This dazzling innovation is already patent-pending, thanks to Microsoft's #MakeWhatsNext Patent Program. Could this be the future of fashion?

The brains behind this genius? Well, it’s none other than Tendaji, a trailblazing brand standing by the Swahili motto, “make things happen.” And happen they shall, as this brand is setting the stage to blend cutting-edge tech with phenomenal style. Their first masterpiece, a solar-powered bomber jacket, is poised to revolutionize wearable technology. What's the secret sauce? Integrated solar cells that can juice up your gadgets wirelessly, come rain or shine!

How did this electrifying idea come to life? Picture this: A college senior project that exploded into an innovation sensation when Riley partnered with co-founders Stanton Ridley and Jordan Walls during their Hampton University days. Nurtured by a team of creative minds, Riley is enlisting bright interns from North Carolina A&T to dream big and design even bigger. Under the watchful mentorship of experts like Lisa Snyder and Elizabeth Hopfer, the Tendaji team is buzzing with energy!

But wait, it gets better. Riley isn't just about tech—he’s also making waves in philanthropy. With the creation of GiveBLK, a nonprofit propelling opportunities within the African diaspora, Riley is giving back with gusto. Tendaji’s triumphs got supercharged with a $20,000 boost from Black Ambition, a nonprofit launched by the one and only Pharrell Williams, supporting Black and Hispanic entrepreneurs.

And did we mention his killer credentials? An IBM Masters Fellowship for Artificial Intelligence, MVP at TMCF’s "The Pitch 2021," and a lauded spot in Hampton University’s Forty Under 40 Society.

Buckle up, because Tendaji is gearing up to reveal its first line of jaw-dropping products in early 2025. Stay tuned, fashion tech lovers, this is just the beginning!
