SHOP THE DECKCOMMANDMENTS
Black Joy
Our core commandment is Black joy, because it isn't enough to simply 'survive'. We can only remain where we are tethered by some sweetness. It is vital to our sacred Black way-making. That is why our joy should be nurtured, celebrated and protected.
Accessibility
None of us is free 'til we're all free, and Black capitalism will not save us. While we offer multiple price points in our shop, better still are the priceless tools we find in ourselves and our environment. Our memories, our prayers, our dreams. Old photos, names and recipes. Real 'free' ain't sold in stores.
Spiritual Synchronicity
Trusting in divine timing, or C.P. Time. This is the active avoidance of living in scarcity. It's faith, in practice. Know what's meant for you will never pass you by. Be it your healing, your blessings...and occasionally, your orders*.
*so please allow a 2-3 week period for processing all orders, as prioritizing our peace is also the work.
Story and Self Trust
We encourage all who are called to the Black stories within this space to employ the sacred principle of chewing the meat and spitting the bones. Take what you need, and leave the rest. Do you know what you need?

Accessibility
None of us is free 'til we're all free. Black capitalism will not save us. We offer multiple price points to access the liberation tools we create and the diverse resources we share. Both the tangible objects, and the intangible spaces we create, should sit within reach of all our grasps.
Spiritual Synchronicity
Trusting in divine timing. C.P. Time: the active avoidance of living in scarcity. It's faith, in practice. Know what's meant for you will never pass you by. Be it your healing, your blessings...and occasionally, your orders (so please allow 2-3 weeks processing time for each order because prioritizing our peace is also the work)!
Ordinarily Extraordinary
C.P. Time is to divine timing what Blackness is to divinity. Staying Black, Hoodoo, is all you gotta do to keep our magic alive.
Hoodoo is Black people's magical ability to do thee most in the face of global anti-blackness restricting them to the very least.
