You know what?! After all the self-help books and business books and guided meditations and yoga classes and… and… and... and... We realize that the best thing we can do for ourselves is to trust our own inner Wisdom, our intuition. We launched our first pre-sale product yesterday, The Off The Shoulder Joint & we are pretty excited about it! We’ve been sitting on this idea to use this model for years but always second guessed it.  Every time we sit down and think about the pros & cons of why using a limited edition, presale model can be advantageous...

MEET ELIZABETH CATLETT (1915-2012).  A graphic artist & sculptor from Washington DC + Howard University Alumnus. For 70 years she was outchea doing #worthywork, creating pieces that celebrate the heroic strength & endurance of Black & Mexican working-class women.  Her work was unapologetic in advancing the causes of her people, seeking justice beyond art and into protest. Since the US State Department ain't about that justice life & liberty for all forreal forreal, she was considered an "undesirable alien" and barred from entering the US. So...she moved to Mexico.

Prince was on to something when he said "we are gathered here today for this thing called life." It makes us beg the question of how we want to live and navigate our moments here on Earth? What legacy will we leave? How will we take up space?  Dearly Beloved is our blog-u-mentary meant to document the journey of Worthy Beings as we Mastermind the world we (in)vision. Our triumphs.
