Walid Walé Benyoucef

Walé Benyoucef is a multidisciplinary creative and global strategist whose work lives at the intersection of sport, fashion, and social impact. Raised in East Denver, Colorado, with personal roots in North Africa, Walé brings a multicultural perspective to everything he builds: bridging worlds, challenging narratives, and empowering underrepresented communities. With a background in international affairs, entrepreneurship, and global business, he’s used fashion and sport as platforms to spark connection and uplift grassroots voices. From designing a streetwear collection during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar and turning it into a global social media campaign, to consulting township entrepreneurs in South Africa and launching a fashion exhibition featuring African and American designers—Walé creates with intention and community at the core. He’s played competitive basketball, studied across three continents, and led cultural activations for student organizations, global brands, and community events. Through it all, Walé is driven by a simple but powerful vision: to create spaces where culture, creativity, and purpose collide.
