Founder Jamel Stephens

Jamel Stephens founded AFROPOP with a focus on craft soda, cultural representation and artist collaboration. His official founder statement connects the company to finding cultural identity through artistry while growing up in rural Oklahoma. A 2026 company-issued announcement describes the continuing Black-owned business and its distribution relationship with RNDC; distribution is not treated as a transfer of ownership.

AFROPOP treats a soda can as both a drink and a small canvas. Founder Jamel Stephens connects the brand to his upbringing in rural Oklahoma and his wish to see his culture reflected in everyday products. Artist collaborations give each flavor a visual identity. Grandma’s House recalls butterscotch candy; Blvcker the Berry and Summer Nights explore berry and lemonade flavors. At this review, only Grandma’s House has confirmed online stock. The remaining flavors and mixed pack are retained privately rather than promoted as available.
