Black History Month is officially underway, and we’re kicking it off in style.
There’s a lot going on in February. Valentine’s Day and All-Star Weekend are right around the corner. Not to mention, Super Bowl Sunday is one week away. Still, while you’re out mixing it up during New York Fashion Week, remember not to lose sight of the true importance of this month.
Fortunately, we’ve rounded up the apparel and accessories that you can wear to represent the culture no matter where you find yourself during the next 28 days. Each item screams Black pride, and yes – they’re SO necessary.
Thank us later.
Ariel Brands offers made-to-order products that feature artwork created by artist KeturahAriel. Purchase the “I’m In Love With Coco Mug” here.
We’re also feeling their “Internal Battle Mug.” Can’t go wrong with either.
