Meet Our Founder
Michael Smith, the visionary behind HBCUOnly, recognized the absence of distinctive college party supplies reflecting the spirit of Historically Black Colleges & Universities. Fueled by a desire to celebrate HBCU pride, Michael founded HBCUOnly, offering accessible and unique party supplies that empower Black alumni and HBCU supporters to make a bold statement.
Meet Michael, a proud father and embodiment of the American dream, hailing from Flint, Michigan. Since making a bold move to Houston in 2008, he has emerged as a successful businessman, author, and community leader. A Tennessee State University graduate in 2006, Michael leveraged his education to establish a youth development non-profit, empowering underprivileged youth with essential resources. His commitment to community service is a testament to his passion for giving back.
Beyond his philanthropic efforts, Michael is an accomplished author, sharing his expertise in his Amazon-published book, "The Step By Step Guide On How To Build 100K In Business Credit: Seriously, you can't f*#k this up!"—a go-to resource for entrepreneurs. Adding to his repertoire, he is also a franchise owner with Goosehead insurance, utilizing his financial acumen to guide clients towards optimal insurance coverage. Michael's multifaceted journey reflects resilience, determination, and a commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those he serves.
