MeWeFree is a Black American clothing and mental health lifestyle brand established in the Philadelphia area. The brand's offerings reflect the creativity and vision of founder Ryan K. Smith, who has infused it with a powerful message: mental wellness should be celebrated, not stigmatized, especially in the Black community. Through urban fashion, published books, and flags, MeWeFree strives to break down barriers surrounding mental illness while offering products that inspire pride, self-expression, and solidarity.

"Ill Mentally" is more than just a clothing collection—it's a statement about mental health, resilience and the beauty that arises from seeing the world through a unique lens. Inspired by the themes of the movie A Beautiful Mind, this collection reflects the idea that mental illness can shape a person's perspective in profound and creative ways. Many of the world's greatest thinkers, artists and visionaries have lived with mental illness, and their unique viewpoints have contributed to some of the most significant breakthroughs in human history.

At the heart of every brand lies a story—a reason for being that transcends fabric, ink and thread. For MeWeFree, the MeWe Collection embodies more than style; it’s a movement, a philosophy, and a tribute to the beauty of unity amidst diversity.

At the heart of every design is a story—an echo of a time, a culture, or a shared experience. The New/Broke Collection is no different. This design is more than just a nostalgic nod to a familiar scene from the homes of xennials (those born between 1977 and 1985); it’s a powerful statement about the challenges and triumphs of an overlooked generation.
