“Campus Cargo brings meaning to fashion trends” -Mattie Moore
Ezra sat down with theCULTURE Editor, Mattie Moore, for an interview highlighting the story and vision behind Campus Cargo. The feature explored how the student-founded HBCU apparel brand grew from a single idea during homecoming season into a recognized name across North Carolina A&T’s campus.
During the interview, Ezra shared his journey as a Greensboro native, second-generation Aggie, and senior marketing student who wanted to create apparel that blended real school pride with modern fashion trends. He discussed the inspiration behind Campus Cargo’s signature February One hoodie — a design honoring the A&T Four and their historic role in the Civil Rights Movement — and how the brand has become a way to spotlight Black success through thoughtful, meaningful pieces.
Mattie’s article also highlighted the early traction Campus Cargo gained, the importance of networking during homecoming, and the brand’s focus on quality and originality. Ezra talked about his process, the time it takes to develop each product, and his commitment to producing designs that stand apart from standard spirit-store merchandise.
The piece closed with Ezra encouraging future student entrepreneurs to trust their ideas and take the leap. His advice was simple: start, believe in yourself, and understand that one post can change everything.
