About Hood Square
Background Story
Hood Square was founded in 2020 by Knowledge B (Abdul-Hakim Works), also known as CEO Hood Square, during his ongoing incarceration as a way to give back to the very community that helped shape him—and to reach others facing similar struggles.
What began behind prison walls grew into something greater. Created by Knowledge B—a justice-impacted author, speaker, and entrepreneur—Hood Square was built by turning adversity into a platform for growth, leadership, and impact. It stands on the belief that your environment does not define your outcome.
