“Buying Black isn’t just a purchase, it’s an investment. Every time you make a transaction, whether on or offline, you’re voting with your dollar and funding/contributing to the growth of that business or corporation. In the same vein, when you make the conscious decision to stay away from funding particular…
Reader request alert! This one came from y’all, and I am so glad you encouraged me to make this blog post. As someone who comfortably exists in the bubble of straight sizes, it’s easy to overlook that SO MANY gals (and guys and n/b folks) cannot shop the straight size…
It’s weird (to say the least) to publish a travel blog post in the midst of a global pandemic… but this baby has been sitting in my drafts all year. And I figured these epic shops could use the digital love, even if we can’t visit them IRL for awhile.…
I hope by now we can all agree that wearing a mask when you leave your house, or when you’re around other people, is crucial to slowing the spread of COVID-19. The US of A has done a pretty pisspoor job of flattening the curve, and many local governments have…
