At Be the Bridge, we believe in centering and amplifying the voices of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)—and that includes investing in their work, brands and businesses! This holiday season, give the bridge-builders in your life a meaningful gift that will both spark conversations on racial equity, all while supporting BIPOC creators and business owners.
Urban Native Era
A timeless statement intended to ignite conversation amongst non-Indigenous communities, You Are On Native Land comes from an Indigenous perspective and the phrase is intended for everyone including the wearer.
Asian American Girl Club
Asian American Girl Club is an apparel company set to redefine what it means to be a modern Asian American woman. Choose from their totes, water bottles, sweatshirts, t-shirts and more.
Garden24 by Morgan Harper Nichols
Garden24 began in Spring of 2019, as writer Morgan Harper Nichols began to watch things bloom, professionally and personally. With such a wide response to her daily releases of artwork on Instagram, Morgan sought to create something more permanent. Support Morgan’s work by gifting her stationery, stickers, books, home goods and more.
Lil’ Libros
In a world with a shortage of bilingual books for children, two mothers began their mission to introduce bilingualism and Latin American culture through picture board books. Lil’ Libros was created to inspire parents to read to their children and encourage them to do so in two languages.
Scrumptious Wicks
Founded by Sonya Malani Panchal, Scrumptious Wicks candles are hand-poured in New Jersey, with unique scents inspired by food, memories and South Asian culture.
Portrait Coffee
Portrait Coffee’s goal is to empower and equip Atlanta natives and residents with genuine career and life opportunities in the world of coffee. Their name comes from a desire to change the picture that comes to mind when folks think of specialty coffee. Coffee, as a product, was first discovered by Africans. In discovering coffee, they had no clue this drink would become the most consumed beverage, other than water, globally.
Be the Bridge
Shopping and sporting Be the Bridge apparel and accessories is a great way to both support our mission and engage others in conversation about the work of racial justice and unity. If you’re doing any shopping on Amazon, don’t forget that your purchases can support Be the Bridge through Amazon Smile!
Happy holidays and happy shopping!
