Our Story

HBCU MADE is a clothing and healthcare apparel line.  We provide a platform for healthcare professionals that have attended or support a Historically Black College or University.

Our founder LaTia Kirby is a licensed Occupational Therapist and graduate of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.  After years of working in the healthcare industry, LaTia noticed the lack of diversity in healthcare apparel brands and was inspired to create HBCU MADE.

“I want to give a voice to people in the healthcare industry that look like me or share similar experiences.”

We are rooted in our traditions, experiences, and opportunities that our Historically Black Colleges and Universities have provided us. We’re not a brand, we’re a culture….we’re HBCU MADE!
