See different™
Oakanda is a
fashion X tech startup that uses eyewear as a trojan horse to embed collective liberation into pop culture.
Founded in Oakland by a survivor of police violence, our mission is to help the world SEE DIFFERENT by making camera glasses for video self-defense.

Oakland — the birthplace of the Black Panther Party — is renowned for its forward-thinking mindset, innovation, and culture. At Oakanda, we embrace these values in every aspect of our brand. From our commitment to donate 20% of proceeds to community nonprofits, to our dedication to quality and artistry with hand-crafted and individually numbered frames, we strive to create products that align with The Town's legacy and spirit.
We are proud to partner with Artivists who use their art to spread the message of unity, resistance, and liberation.
Featured Artivists have the option to design and promote your own line of branded glasses as an official Oakanda collaboration.
