Friends, we have to do better. I have to do better. When it comes to our BIPOC brothers and sisters—when it comes to humanity and equality—we can never, ever stop striving to learn and do and act.

In an effort to make tangible change in my own life, however small, and to give you an action step that you can take now, I encourage you to shop these fair brands owned by women of color before you make another purchase.
