MOMPRENEUR AND HER DAUGHTER TEAM UP, LAUNCH BLACK-THEMED BACKPACKS, HANDBAGS, ETC TO INSPIRE PEOPLE OF COLOR

Chrishonda Benson from Charlotte, North Carolina wanted to show her daughter that her brown skin and bold features were beautiful, so she used the representation gap in the retail industry to create Pretty Dope Society, an extensive collection of products that incorporates the illustrations of Black artists.

Since October 2020, her brand has set out to breathe life into Black art because representation matters and has since sold thousands of items that fill the representation gap and bring smiles and dialogue to customers. From diaper bags, travel bags, blankets, drinkware, and more, this holiday season, buy items that are more than just material objects; but ignite the everlasting culture and creativity that is Black art.

For this e-commerce brand, being able to present the black community with products that are intentionally both visually and emotionally means everything. “I wanted Black children and adults everywhere to understand that they are beautiful and they deserve to be represented in items that they see and use every day,” says Chrishonda.
