Crookd Crown’s Brandon D. Cox Named Award-Winning Author After 18 Years of Resilience and Hustle

At Crookd Crown Clothier, we’ve always known that our founder Brandon D. Cox was more than just a designer — he’s a visionary, a fighter, and a voice for the unheard. Now, the world is starting to recognize what we’ve seen from day one.

We’re proud to share that Brandon has officially been named an award-winning author in the non-fiction (occupational) category by Readers' Favorite for his debut book, Hustle Reimagined: An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Beating the Odds. This powerful guide, written entirely from behind prison walls, is a raw, inspiring roadmap for anyone determined to rise despite the odds.

For those just discovering Brandon’s story: he has been incarcerated for 18 years due to a flawed conviction, yet he continues to build, educate, mentor, and inspire. What began as a vision scribbled in a cell turned into Crookd Crown Clothier, a fast-growing urban streetwear brand with a mission to redefine royalty for those society too often overlooks.

This updated recognition isn’t just a personal win — it’s a milestone for the entire Crookd Crown community. Brandon’s journey reminds us that no matter how crooked the crown may be, it can still shine.
