As consumers, we have the ability to support businesses that reflect our values and contribute to the growth of underrepresented communities. With the recent shifts in DEI efforts from a number of companies, now more than ever, it's important to use our spending power to support Black-owned brands. If you read my introduction post on supporting Black-owned in big box retailers, then you know I'll be sharing 3 posts highlighting some brands you can shop at 3 specific retailers — Amazon, Target, and Walmart. This post will be all about the brands at Amazon.

Over the years, I've shared countless shopping resources to some of the very retailers that have decided to move away from DEI. How do I reconcile that? How do we drive change & support Black owned brands while continuing to spend our dollars with major corporations? Shopping retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart actually introduced me to many of the Black owned brands that I use & love, which is supposed to be the point right?
My goal isn't to tell you how to spend your money or with whom, nor am I here to judge whatever you decide. I only hope that as you decide on the best ways for you to shop, these posts will serve as valuable resources.

Personally, I have always had, no less, than a drawer full of house clothes — not pajamas, not work out clothes, but actual pieces of clothing solely for wearing around the house. It was usually old t-shirts, sweatpants, and shorts collected from school p.e. or family trips. I remember when I found out that not everyone wore “house clothes” and I was very confused… "So like y’all are either in pajamas or just what y’all wear outside?! What kinda 90s sitcom life is this?!"

If you’re all caught up then you know part of getting ready for our growing family meant getting the house ready for our growing family. Because we had our first nearly a decade ago + moved cross country, we knew we’d be starting over with everything — with no hand me downs and nothing in storage. Ooof. Enter the baby registry.

All in all, we're very happy with how this room came together, most of all the mini. As a client, she was super easy to work with & our collaborative efforts resulted in what is now her favorite room in the house... despite not having the tv that she begged for. For me, the win is in seeing her joy every time she enters her room... in seeing how she uses the space to both create & rest. My job here is done.
