| 43 Black-Owned Fashion Businesses You Can Support Right Now - POPSUGAR Posted: 02 Jun 2020 09:44 AM PDT  We are here to provide you with a list of Black-owned fashion brands to shop, some of which may already be on your radar, but all of which deserve the fashion world's utmost support and attention. During this time of unrest, as the nation protests in response to the death of George Floyd, Brother Vellies's Aurora James was one of the first to step up, publicly demanding a pledge from large companies to buy 15 percent of products from Black designers. Her call to action reminded us that we have a responsibility to provide you with what you need to know in order to stand behind the Black community — not just during this time, but every day.
The fashion industry as a whole must hold itself accountable for a lack of diversity through the years and acknowledge countless accusations of cultural appropriation and racism in order to hold a conversation about how we can better ensure equality. There is no other option. When we say that these are the fashion designers you should know about, that doesn't just mean you should remember their names. Follow them and their career paths — most of the clothes, accessories, and jewelry they design are incredibly unique, and so many of them are also made ethically — spread their names the way the CFDA has for many of them, rallying behind their talent, and remember that this is just a small ask. "You want to be an ally? This is what I'm asking for," James wrote in her Instagram post. If you've been thinking about what it means to be an ally, shopping these brands is just a start.  |
| Teacher Dresses up for Online Classes - Spectrum News 1 Posted: 28 May 2020 02:18 PM PDT  WEST BRANCH, Mich.—It can be tough to motivate your kids to get their school work done with classes online. But one Cedarville graduate is making sure her students are engaged each day. What You Need To Know
Heidi Bruder is a fifth through seventh grade teacher at Calvary Christian Academy. She said when school was moved online, she was worried about how motivated her students would be. "I knew my kids, my students were not going to be excited about now having to sit in front of a computer screen and do school," Bruder said. So Bruder decided to dress up in a new costume each day. "I'm teaching the grade levels that two of my sons are in," she said. "So just being able to know what's cool. I have that insider scoop from my own children." From Yoda to Picasso, Bruder says she likes to keep her students guessing. "It's been a fun diversion for myself," Bruder said. "And it just keeps the kids guessing and wanting to come to class. That's the big thing, you kind of burnout after awhile. But this at least makes them want to come on and see what Mrs. Bruder's going to be and then just join in on the learning." Bruder says a typical day in her classroom is always different and interactive, so she knew she had to bring that same energy to online schooling. And when she did it for the first remote class, she knew she had to keep it up. "It is hard to get really excited about online school," she said. "But I think that they can at least sense my enthusiasm. Mrs. Bruder's trying. She's at least trying to make this fun and make this engaging in a different way than the classroom." While it's been challenging, Bruder shares it's given her a way to connect with her students that she cares for so much. "I hope that this really shows parents and students how much their teachers love them," she said.  |
