The Full Story
About
Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence.
Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.
-Maya Angelou
Mission
At Black Girl Hug, our mission is to empower and uplift black women by providing them with a platform to freely express themselves. We are dedicated to promoting mental health, self-care, and creating a space where black women can live out loud without fear or judgment. We believe in breaking the silence surrounding anxiety and no longer suffering in silence. Through our brand, we aim to spread light, create safe spaces, and give black women permission to embrace their authentic selves.
Vision
We envision a world where black women are celebrated for their strength, resilience, and unique perspectives. By wearing our t-shirts, black women can not only express their individuality but also unite as a community, finding strength in their shared experiences. We strive to create a network of support, where black women can find solace and inspiration, knowing that they are not alone.
With every t-shirt sold, we aim to make a tangible impact in the lives of black women. A portion of our proceeds will be donated to organizations that focus on mental health resources and support for black women. Through these efforts, we hope to contribute to the ongoing conversation around mental health and break down barriers that prevent black women from seeking the care they deserve.
Together, let's create a world where black women thrive, where their voices are heard, and where they feel empowered to express themselves authentically. Join us in spreading love, light, and support through the power of a simple hug - the Black Girl Hug.
