“Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.”
- James Baldwin
Founded in 2017, Soulful Silverback® is a narrative about tribulation and triumph. Our mission is to inspire those grappling with life’s challenging questions to embrace their most authentic selves.
Soulful Industries is aiming to become the leading premium streetwear breand in the United States within the next 5 years. Focused on high-quality designs, we are expanding the brand based on consumer insight into the increased affinity for streetwear. This brand approach encourages inclusive conversations, raises awareness about social issues, and sparks a movement for change that ultimately provides freedom for disenfranchised and marginalized communities.
Our spring collection is inspired from a piece written by our founder about James Baldwin and freedom. The designs are crafted to empower buyers to freely express themselves.

The Soulful Silverback® brand is about my parents, Madeline and Neville. Mom is a soulful Brooklyn native with Puerto Rican roots. Dad is a hardworking Grenadian with a steely resolve. Together, they reflect the duality of mankind.
At the Silverback, I write to give voice to the Black millennial experience in the 21st century, to develop a community united in understanding and love, and to provide a vision of political, economic, and social freedom for the Black community. All Silverback Apparel funds the creation and development of these evocative stories.
