We stand with #BlackLivesMatter
As a brand with it’s own diverse team, that values the happiness of everyone–children and adults–we have recently gained a further understanding of just how hard thing's have been for the African-American community when it comes to certain issues. We are going to take this time to listen, research, support, and find ways to do and be better in the future. We might be small but every voice counts and we know that any positive actions can lead to a better tomorrow.
We gathered some ideas and ways to support this fight against injustice and racism that we would like to share with you too.
