Who we are

BamnByShavelle, a culmination of creativity and resilience, draws its name from the powerful phrase “By Any Means Necessary,” a hallmark of Malcom X’s advocacy for justice and empowerment. The name embodies the spirit of determination and dedication that fuels every endeavor embarked upon under its banner. This profound inspiration led to the creation of BamnByShavelle, a platform founded by Sha’velle Davis, a passionate advocate for creative education, entrepreneurship, and the transformative potential of the arts. With a lifelong passion for sewing and fashion, Sha’velle’s journey is a testament to the idea that creativity knows no bounds, and Barries are meant to be broken. 

Sha’velle’s connection with sewing traces back to her childhood at the age of 8, where the spark of curiosity ignited a lifelong pursuit of artistic expression.

Her journey continued through the halls of the prestigious High School of Fashion industries, where her skills were further refined, and her commitment to the art deepened. Formal education culminated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Merchandising from Miami International University of Art & Design, solidifying her foundation in design and garment construction.

The entrepreneurial spirit took hold during Sha’velle’s college years, leading to the launch of her own website and the crafting of unique cut and sew garments. This venture not only supported her eduction and living expenses but also illuminated the boundless possibilities of creative entrepreneurship.
