Unbounded is a black, family-owned, art and apparel brand that is founded and operated by Cephas and Jaleesa Sharp. Our story began in 2015 when Cephas was growing in his faith and wanted to find more clothes that represented his relationship with Christ as well as his identity as a black man. He searched through malls and several popular online sporting and graphic tee stores, but could not find anything remotely close to what he was looking for. He did find some typography shirts with scriptures on them, but he had envisioned graphic tees that were artistic, motivational, and could tell a story. Cephas, who was a self-taught visual artist and graphic designer, decided to fill the need and make it himself.

When he brought the concept to Jaleesa she loved the idea and the two began working together on designs. Their early designs were a hit and attracted several believers and nonbelievers alike who would approach them and engage in discussion. Sharing your faith can be hard, but the Sharps took note of how easy it was to share their faith and relationship with Jesus to others while wearing their gear. Especially since most of the individuals were coming directly to them. 

When they saw how impactful the shirts were a fire arose in them to do more. They wanted to do something that could significantly impact the growth of the kingdom while being fun, engaging, motivational, artistic, and unapologetically black. Thus Unbounded was born. To be unbounded is to be free from the shackles of sin and married to a life with Jesus. Unbounded gear is for everyone, but our depictions of Jesus will always be a person of color. He may have dreads or a short haircut but will be Jesus nonetheless. Our mission is to create art that will uplift, inspire, and empower both believers and non-believers while equipping believers with the necessary tools to have the conversations needed to fulfill the great commission (Matthew 28:16-20)  and expand the kingdom of God.

We Use Our T-shirts & Art To Build Communities & Change Lives

Have you ever been nervous to share the Gospel?

Sharing your faith can be hard. Many Christians want to share their faith and their testimony, but honestly don’t know what to say to break the ice. Our art & apparel act as an icebreaker to help you have the impactful conversations that matter. Conversations that will build communities, change lives, and expand the kingdom of God.

Ready To Let Your Light Shine?

Our gear is also a beacon to attract those who are in search of help,  spiritual assurance, or even fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We can’t tell you how often someone has stopped us while we were wearing some of our gear to talk about God or how often we have been spotted by a fellow believer and given a shoutout or thumbs up. Cut through the awkward conversations and let your light shine in a fun way that builds community and lifelong relationships.
