Michael McGirt didn’t wait for a seat at the table. He built his own.
As a SMASH Alum and co-founder of HDDN GEMS, Michael is fusing tech, culture, and community to uplift the next generation of creators.
“SMASH opened my eyes to the endless possibilities within tech. It ...helped me realize I wasn’t a one-off—that there was a whole community of people who looked like me, doing amazing things.”
Today, Michael’s paying it forward by mentoring young leaders and building a brand that refuses to compromise.
“The flyest streetwear brands shouldn’t have to wait for a seat. We’ve made our own damn table—and crafted a chair specially for you.”
🚨 Every dollar you give to #SMASHtheMatch is doubled through July 31, up to $250K. Help us raise $500K and build more tables for future leaders like Michael.
