We have a lot of new faces around here. So I wanted to do a #fridayintroduction but on a Monday 😹 for the 600+ friends we have gained. By being here you have exclaimed to the world not only your love for paper and correspondence but you have also made a comittment to be a part of social change. #powertothepeople ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First of all, I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love that you have showed. The orders have been flowing in for the last couple weeks. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. THANK YOU! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Second, I want to be completely honest. The last two weeks have been a struggle. (I know you see my smiling face above so it can be confusing. One thing I pride myself on is being open and honest. This photo was taken about prior to the senseless murders.) I am trying to be as "social" on here as possible. However, I also need to protect my mind. So my responses have been slow. Please do not feel like I do not love and appreciate every single person here. I do love you all, I am just not 100% my normal self. So thank you for sharing your purchases! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Third, although the last couple weeks have been heavy, I am encouraged by the unity. I am encouraged by the change that we have already seen. I see those of you who have comitted to facing systemic racism head on. I see those of you who are comitted to uplifting and amplifying black voices. I see parents like myself who are comitted to making sure our babies are safe. I see you. Right now, we need to keep pushing forward. Change is on the horizon and I believe with all my heart that we need to be voting now, more than ever. We also need to supporting our black communities. This Juneteenth we will be launching some new products and will be donating 30% of our sales to @thelovelandfoundation ! As someone who has benefited from therapy, I resonate with their mission and the need to heal our community from the within. I hope you will join me on Friday! #blacklivesmatter #mentalhealth #supportblackbusiness #amplifyblackvoices
