#CollegeEmma killin’ the “arm pop” pose in her Elisamamakids dress! 😊 Today is
#BlackoutDay2020, which is a day of economic solidarity with the Black community. The ask is to avoid making purchases unless they’re from Black-owned businesses. ♥️
My friend and TwoPeasinaPrada blogger Emily—the sweetest mom of three—introduced me to Fisayo, founder and owner of the children’s brand Elisamamakids. Fisayo—also a mom of three!—is a native of Nigeria, and her primary goal with her business is to economically empower local artisans through jobs and skills training. All Elisamama products are handmade in Nigeria, and team members can support both themselves and their families on their incomes.
As I taught a good number of Nigeria natives in the South Bronx during my teaching days, I was really excited to link up with Fisayo and help promote her cause. (If you have a moment, please check out Osaretin.Ugiagbe and his South Bronx photography, too. Amazing!)
Emma loved her beautiful Tami ...
