Every. Purchase. Gives. Back.
Humbly drawing on the teachings of black and indigenous women from around the globe, Nicole strives to continually unlearn and divest from systems of oppression. To that end, a portion of all proceeds goes back to community in the form of mutual aid and non profit contributions.
Additionally, Hygge Handmade Designs has a collection of work - "for Collective Liberation" in which 50% of the profits are shared with Secrets2Truths, a private non-profit 501(c)(3) located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Secrets2Truths, lead by Marea Perry, works to "normalize and develop a culture for black women, families and communities until we no longer have trauma and oppression to heal from."
"Secrets2Truths is a community building wellness that puts healing for Black mothers and black communities at the center of justice by creating a space that nurtures, protects, empowers and restores. Through a variety of healing modalities and wellness practices Black mothers and families are supported to replenish, restore and heal from their grief by offering innovative programs in the heart of the community where they are most needed. When we ensure Black women and our Black families have what they need, we ensure everyone has what they need."
