Mac Shack

Childhood friends turned business owner, Kevin James and Clinton Philbert are Purposed for Excellence. When the Mac Shack first opened in 2012, it had a modest 13 varieties, and the restaurant had some difficulty in convincing the local patrons of moving out of their mac and cheese comfort zones. Eventually, after handing out thousands of free four-ounce bite sized samples at numerous neighborhood block parties, the launch of their first mac and cheese eating contest, coverage from News 12 Brooklyn, and a feature on the Travel Channel’s Food Paradise, Mac Shack is a Brooklyn staple. Please continue to keep the family and friends in prayer as they heal from the tragic loss of Kevin in 2019 and continue to build his legacy.

T-Stone

Derrick Wynn and Sam James are Purposed for Excellence! T-Stone Solutions started with a problem. For years, co-founder Derrick Wynn suffered from server enlarged razer bumps. He knew there had to be a better way to treat them than expensive visits to the dermatologist. He started to research the history of shaving techniques and what other black men had done through the centuries to keep their skin smooth after shaving. That sparked an idea that he eventually shared with NASA engineer Sam, his long-time friend and brother-in-law. Together, they tried many designs and formulations before arriving at the right version of the T-Stone.
