COVID-19 Response
When there was a call to action from the CDC that the most effective public health measure was for everyone to wear a mask while maintaining safe social distancing it deeply spoke to me. My focus aesthetically is on the creation of functional items and seeing the beauty in utility. There’s nothing more functional than wearing a mask right now, but if you’re going to cover half your face then at least cover it up with something beautiful that expresses your individuality and personal style.
Giving Back
We are committed to giving back to vulnerable communities that have been systemically marginalized. Each month we donate 10% of our proceeds to an organization that we wish to support. I am profoundly grateful to my super supportive and very conscious community that feels aligned with my vision to give back.
In April we donated to the Navajo Nation. In May we donated to the MN Food Group. In June we donated to the Cultural Wellness Center on the Southside of Mpls. & the West Area Broadway Coalition on the Northside of Mpls. In July we donated to Sistersong: The National Women of Color Reproductive Collective.

Vision Statement & Sourcing
I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience on this planet. As visitors on this beautiful planet it is our responsibility to tread lightly and practice stewardship.
Rooted in Intersectional Environmentalism
What is Intersectional Environmentalism? This is an inclusive version of environmentalism that advocates for both the protection of people and the planet. It identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the earth are interconnected. It brings injustices done to the most vulnerable communities, and the earth, to the forefront and does not minimize or silence social inequality. Intersectional environmentalism advocates for justice for people + the planet. ~ Leah Thomas
