Meet the Founder
AFROPOP was founded by Jamel Stephens, who says he created the brand because he wanted to see himself and his culture reflected in the products he bought. On the brand’s About page, Stephens connects AFROPOP to his experience growing up in rural Oklahoma and finding cultural identity through artistry. That mission carries into the packaging, with AFROPOP partnering with artists to design its cans and amplify Black cultural representation through the brand. Reporting in 2025 also described AFROPOP as Oklahoma’s Black-owned soda company and highlighted Stephens’ effort to build a culturally rooted beverage brand with broad reach.
