Jeffrey Cheung: Unity and Community, One Board at a Time

Jeffrey Cheung has explored routes for self-expression his whole life, slowly carving out a space in communities that have been historically exclusive. After beginning to discover a more universal language with art that gleams with vibrant color and characters that seem to burst with life, he began to find other folks who were denied an open space for expression, and expanded beyond himself, using his art to give a platform for others to feel comfortable and free. Instead of focusing solely on his promising art career, he started Unity, a printing press and skateboard company that aims to support queer people, trans people, and people of color (QTPOC), hosting a community in person and online that celebrates their contributions to art, music, skateboarding, and more.
