Official Shmay
Located: Georgia
About: "I opened this shop to help make a difference and to stop being scared of sharing my work. The beauty of that half-selfish mission is that a 2 sticker and $200 fundraiser at 19 years old has evolved into this fancy little internet spot. The #illustratecompassion fundraiser is named and based on the idea that you can show you actually care about other people through your actions," the company's website reads.
Adedhye
Located: California
About: "Ade Dehye is a fashion brand that draws inspiration from across the African Diaspora. We are ethically and sustainably made in Ghana, and all of our textiles are sourced on the continent of Africa. So far, all of the fabrics we've used are either hand-dyed or handwoven on the continent. It’s one thing to be Black-owned, but it’s another to be 100% Black-owned and operated, all the way down to the weaving and dyeing of the fabric and the tailoring of the finished product. While some companies only look to the continent to be a recipient of charity or share a portion of their proceeds, we chose to invest directly into the continent and set up shop in Ghana, contributing to the country's growing economy as we build," the company's website reads.
