The company was founded in Atlanta, GA, in 2001 by Elvyn Arriola, the president, CEO, and founder, and Frank Johnson, the vice president of design.

We’re committed to creating high-quality products that celebrate Black culture and tradition.
Our journey began in 2001 when Elvyn Arriola and Frank Johnson founded the company in Atlanta, GA. As a Garifuna of African descent from Honduras, Elvyn was passionate about reconnecting Black men to their West African roots. He recognized that the world could often be challenging for Black men, and he wanted to create a brand that would empower them to succeed in all aspects of their lives.
From the beginning, BMB2S has been committed to providing its customers with the best possible experience. We use only high-quality materials and fabrics to create our clothing and accessories. Our designers are passionate about their craft and strive to create unique and stylish designs that reflect the rich history and culture of Black people.

Our mission is to inspire and motivate Black men worldwide to be their best selves and achieve their goals. We are committed to positively impacting our community by reinvesting a percentage of our profits into the community to improve the quality of life for those tired of living paycheck to paycheck.

That’s why we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and respected. We believe every Black man deserves to feel powerful, confident, and in control, and that’s what our products aim to do.

YOU HAVE A GIFT
Black Man,
The stakes are high. The future of your children and family is in your hands. Don’t blame the system learn the system. Be a leader, not a follower. Learn your position, and play your position. In other terms, your ticket out of poverty and into financial freedom may not be with a basketball, football, or microphone. You have other gifts, and your job is to find those gifts. So search deep in your soul and bring it out!! Master it!! Share it with the rest of the world. This gift may not bring you riches, but it will do one thing; give you a purpose. A Black Man with a purpose is a Black Man on a mission. A Black Man on a mission is a Black Man Born 2 Succeed.
Remember that the legacy you leave to your children and family is going to be built on the decisions you are making today.Sincerely,
Elvyn R. Arriola
