Stevie Wonder's fifth child is Kwame Morris, born August 6, 1988, in Sydney, Australia, where he lived until he was 12 years old. Kwame moved to Los Angeles, before heading to Atlanta to study sociology, media, and art at Morehouse College.
A jack of all trades, Kwame boasts an impressive resume in fashion, media, entertainment, and music. In 2013, he started working as a production coordinator for the clothing brand L'agence. In 2019, he started working as a model and creator at Storm Model Management and he's been published in Vogue Italia. In 2020, inspired by his father's impressive eyewear collection, he founded Yagan Stone Eyewear. The company sells gemstone-embellished eyewear that's handmade in Italy. Kwame also writes and produces music, having worked with artists like TrapMoneyBenny, FNZ, and Edwin Arzu. Kwame is also a father, welcoming his son Kenzo to the world in 2023 with his partner Akira Egawa. "I'll be loving you always," he wrote on Instagram.
In 2017, Kwame joined his father by kneeling in solidarity against police brutality targeting Black Americans on stage at the Global Citizen Festival, in support of Colin Kaepernick. Kwame shared a video of the protest on Instagram, where you can hear Wonder saying, "Tonight, I'm taking a knee for America. Not just one knee, but I'm taking both knees. Both knees in prayer for our planet, our future, leaders of our world, and our globe. Amen."
