Actively Black:
A CDC study shows Black fathers are most involved in their children’s activities compared to white and Hispanic fathers. Negative stereotypes about Black fathers have created false narratives.
Actively Black, a premium, Black-owned athleisure and sports apparel brand, was founded on Black Friday in 2020 by former professional basketball player Lanny Smith. The brand’s mission is to serve as a social movement, reclaiming cultural ownership, celebrating Black history, and reinvesting profits directly into the Black community.
