We’re happy to announce that the new Here & Strong collection will be live today, September 28th, at 6 PM PT. Thank you for your patience and support for this launch, and we’re excited to share our new products with you!
Thank you all for your love and support. I am so grateful for everyone who has joined me on this journey. You are all important. Live as your authentic selves, and always remember that you are enough and you are beautiful.
Love and light,

Today marks one year since we launched! Over the last several months, I’ve been figuring out what’s next for H&S and myself. I’ve opened myself up to many different possibilities. Today, I am announcing that Here & Strong is going on an indefinite hiatus.
Going forward, I believe that we can all continue to increase inclusivity for our community through our own methods of education, representation, and empowerment. I love our community, and I am excited to continue to support other organizations and the community in other ways.
Thank you Alpha Phi Gamma for having Here & Strong as presenters at the 2021 National Conference. We’re honored for the opportunity to provide education about the LGBTQIA+ community and discuss the importance of empowerment and representation.
Pride Month is many things. It’s a time to remember how we got to where we are, be present, celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, and think about what’s next for us. We have come a long way, and we still have ways to go to reach greater inclusivity and equality.
During Pride month (and all other months), we stand together, support each other, and love one another. Wherever you are in your journey, you are valid. Take some time for yourself this month, and celebrate your beauty!
Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday! Thank you for all your support!
To celebrate, we’re including a free reusable face mask with each order while supplies last!
We encourage you to support small businesses! Every like, comment, share, and purchase matters.
