My name is Mikel McMullen, born in 1977 in Lapeer, Michigan, where I spent most of my early life. In 1996, I relocated to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to attend college, marking the beginning of a significant chapter in my life. Although I initially pursued studies in Physical Therapy, I soon realized that path wasn’t for me. Seeking more from life, I moved to North Carolina in 1998 and embarked on a career in the service industry. It was there I thrived, discovering a passion for positively impacting others and feeling deeply connected to this line of work.
In 2008, after moving back to Michigan, a groundbreaking idea struck me, leading to the creation of WORNBAI. Inspired by red carpet interviews where the focus is often on designers worn by celebrities, I noticed the letters in WORNBAI could be rearranged to spell “RAINBOW,” symbolizing the brand’s inclusive and vibrant ethos. Initially envisioned as a men’s underwear line, my unconventional thinking has since evolved WORNBAI into a diverse and inclusive brand. Our mission is to cater to everyone, emphasizing the importance of humor in our lives. After all, laughter is the best medicine. WORNBAI aims to offer a fresh perspective on life, making it a brand for all who appreciate a good laugh and a touch of brightness in their lives.
