NeAndre Broussard- Founder of Black Menswear

<p>In 2018 after seeing yet another news story about police brutality against a black man, NeAndre Broussard had had enough. He founded his Instagram page, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blackmenswear/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Black Menswear</strong></a>, to counter negative media portrayals with images of black men dressed in colorful, impeccably tailored suits. Tired of police brutality against men who were presumed to be aggressive solely because of the color of their skin, the SMU graduate and insurance businessman created his Instagram account, Black Menswear, to change the narrative. He started gathering large groups of black men in suits, sometimes organized around a color theme. For the first shoot in Dallas, 20 men showed up. Then 75. Then 100. When he would travel to Philadelphia or D.C. or Chicago for work, he would put up a post and hundreds would show up in those cities, too.</p> <p><br></p> <p>To view this episode- <a href="https://youtu.be/O0WlZLy5YvE" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/O0WlZLy5YvE</a></p> <p>#BlackMenswear #WhoKnewInTheMoment? #Suits</p>
