About IMBRACE Collegiate Designs

IMBRACE Collegiate Designs (ICD) is a collegiate lifestyle brand dedicated to celebrating higher education, HBCU culture, academic achievement, and community impact.

Founded by educator, college advisor, and entrepreneur Monique A. Broadnax, ICD was born from a lifelong passion for education and a desire to create apparel that proudly represents the pursuit of excellence.

As a proud graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio, Texas, Monique earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio, Television, and Film from Howard University in 1996. She later earned her teaching certification from St. Mary's University and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from The University of Texas at San Antonio.

For more than 27 years, Monique has worked with students and families in public, private, charter, and early college settings, helping thousands of students navigate the college admissions process and pursue their educational goals.

That passion led to the creation of IMBRACE Education, a nonprofit organization committed to helping middle school, high school, and college students access greater opportunities through college readiness, career awareness, scholarships, mentorship, and educational programming.

IMBRACE Collegiate Designs extends that mission through apparel.

Every design is created to celebrate culture, inspire achievement, and honor the institutions and communities that have shaped generations of leaders.

When you wear ICD, you are doing more than purchasing apparel.

You are supporting a mission.

You are investing in education.

You are representing a legacy.

Wear the Culture.
Represent the Legacy.
Invest in the Future.
