Full disclosure, I’ll be wearing pieces from the brand that shouldn’t be named despite their recent black boy monkey clad scandal.

Here’s why?

There are A LOT of pieces that I’ve spent my hard earned money purchasing from said brand and I will not be discarding them until I’m good and ready. When I bought the pieces, I wasn’t aware of their position or racial insensitivity towards black people.

Pre-Scandal

See, I feel like anything P.S. or Pre-Scandal is game. Moving forward, I just won’t mention that it’s from the brand or when someone asks me I’ll just say that I would rather not share because I would rather not!

Post Monkey Scandal

However, P.M.S. or Post Monkey Scandal, I’ll be actively seeking out and spending my coins with brands that support and encourage diversity.

Weigh-in, what are you doing with your P.S. pieces?

    Keeping my current pieces but not giving them another nickel. And I am also actively seeking out brands that I can support because they support my people.

    My spouse and i have been now joyous when Edward managed to conclude his investigation by way of the precious recommendations he discovered out of the blog. It’s not at all simplistic just to continually be giving out guidance which usually many others may have been trying to sell. And we also consider we now have the website owner to appreciate because of that. Those explanations you’ve made, the straightforward website navigation, the friendships you help to instill – it’s got all overwhelming, and it’s making our son and the family imagine that this idea is brilliant, and that’s extraordinarily serious. Thanks for all the pieces!
