—
Black & Scholared, the brainchild of visionary founder Kamirria Wallace, is more than just a college apparel brand. It stands as a beacon of community and purpose, dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and encouraging higher education within the Black community. With excellence at its core, Black & Scholared is committed to empowering individuals through thoughtfully designed clothing that tells a story of resilience, achievement, and pride.
The brand creates high-quality, licensed HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) collegiate apparel that resonates with students, alumni, and supporters alike. Through selling empowering collections and licensed collegiate apparel, Black & Scholared enables students and alumni to proudly represent their HBCU school or alma mater with style and pride. Beyond fashion, Black & Scholared commits to giving back; a portion of proceeds from every sale is regularly donated to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, reinforcing the brand's mission to support and uplift the Black community through education and empowerment.
"As a proud alumna of the prestigious Howard University, I founded Black & Scholared to celebrate the rich heritage and academic excellence of HBCUs. Our mission is to provide fashion-forward HBCU apparel that allows students and alumni to showcase their pride and give back to the institutions that have shaped many leaders. We are committed to positively impacting the Black community through education and empowerment," said Kamirria Wallace, Founder & CEO of Black & Scholared.

The brand has cultivated a vibrant community of Black scholars and HBCU graduates nationwide. Reaching over 200,000 scholars, Black & Scholared has attracted attention from primetime networks and media outlets and has become a featured brand in major retail stores and HBCU campus bookstores. Each item, showcasing original designs and HBCU-licensed apparel, is crafted to celebrate Black excellence and build a lasting HBCU legacy through clothing.
