Hailing from the worlds of fashion PR, content, and marketing, Kelly knows what it takes for brands to stand out, and stand for something. When it comes to representation, talk the talk and walk the walk with this stylish gift guide.
Everyday Eyeshadow Palette
Mented was founded over the mission to create the perfect nude lipstick for all—no matter their skin tone. Gift their take on eyeshadows with this gloriously pigmented palette of neutrals.
ITADI Bundle
A no-fuss, all-natural, 3-step skincare bundle for the friend who prefers the simpler things in life. All of ITADI’s products are from family owned farms in Togo, West Africa.
Black AF Hoodie
Celebrate Blackness with this hoodie from Stuzo, a brand founded for bold nonconformists. Their all-inclusive, no-bull philosophy has been co-signed by Tiffany Haddish, Lena Waithe, and Spike Lee.
Mocha Brown Liquid Lipstick
More neutral than a red, and deeper than a nude, this chocolate-brown liquid lipstick won’t budge until you want it to. Gift it for Black- and female-owned businesses everywhere.
Monogram Print Durag
Telfar is a Black-owned fashion icon, and there’s more than one way to nod to that. If you (or a good friend) missed out on the bag pre-order, go for this durag.
Aaliyah Clip-on Gold Hoop Earrings
Everyday earrings that will make that somebody feel a little more like its legendary namesake. Comfortable to boot.
MOXI-102
How these manage to evoke vintage glamour and futuristic fabulousness is beyond us. Save these for your most fashionably adventurous friend.
Phenomenally Soft Crewneck
No need to say it if it’s on the shirt. Plus, your purchase will support organizations such as Black Futures Lab and Native Voices Rising.
Wave Ring
Each ring’s unique pattern and reclaimed gold materials is a wink to Automic Gold’s mission of embracing individuality, sustainability, and wearability.
Converse Run Star Hike Mesh Hi
A classic silhouette remixed for 2020, but if we’re being honest—those neon details are cool enough to take these beyond the decade.
