I was so excited to support a fellow sistah who is creating something that resonates with our messages and aesthetic.

CRNVRE is short for a girl carnivore. This beautiful urban chic, eye catching clutch is hand made by CRNVRE.

My sister and I know first hand how hard it is to not only have an idea and give birth to the idea but to also have people support your vision. I adore how unique and bold her designs are. What really had me going crazy about this bag was simply the word ‘FREEDOM’.

Freedom, 7 letters that means so much to me. Personally, I have used the word Freedom in several of my earlier works as an artist especially during the start of my natural hair journey.

I  have been freed from many things:

Freed from mental slavery

Freed to speak my mind

Freed  from the western ideals of beauty

Freed from cultural expectations

Freed from the “normal” ways of thinking

Freed from the Western ideals of what success should look like

Freed from negative relationships

Freed from needing the acceptance and approval of others

I could go on and on but I have been wholly liberated through the power of freedom.

Freedom – the quality or state of being FREE, to be who you are unapologetically and the power to choose freely.

He just had to hop in the pic…I guess he felt free enough to do so. We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed taking these pictures.

We would love to hear your journey to FREEDOM.
