Dungeon Forward
Dungeon Forward is the brain child of Architect David Castro. Founded in 2008, the Dungeon was created to develop pieces directly inspired by and for the creative community. They focused on head wear in 2014 after realizing that the crown was often treated as an after thought. "Our" crown needed to be better than that and Castro aspired to not only create innovative head wear, but to tell a story while doing so. Through head wear it is their intent to call attention to stories of triumph, and to infuse poetic inspiration into our crowns.
B Condoms
In 2011, while speaking with his mother about the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS and unplanned pregnancy, B Condoms founder, Jason, was moved to start a journey that would forever change his life, and the trajectory of health disparities in the Black community. The lack of ownership and representation in an industry that directly impacts the health of millions of Black people led him to leave a comfortable job as an Attorney to start a condom company geared towards protecting the culture.
The company makes condoms that are odorless, vegan friendly, all natural, free of spermicide, animal products (organic), parabens, casein, gluten and glycerin.
In addition, the company hopes to initiate conversations, be relevant and lead discussions that give all people a seat at the table. They partner with non-profits, donate thousands of condoms and work to reduce sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancy, and human trafficking in the Black community.
