Moment of Silence to honour all your intersections!

We at Authentic Creations believe liberation is ONLY available for all or none. So we want to highlight our intersectional community. Please know discomfort may arise. Notice where and how it is in your body and release it! Consider exploring links where discomfort originated in an attempt to break the cycle, break the system.

I am not sure how to actually organize all of this. We are so valuable and intricate. I want everyone to feel validation and praise from this listing.

Police offficers being convicted of shooting and murdering black bodies while juvenile detention centers are prioritizing care over punishment .

The Afro dollar only circulates within our community for just 6 hours. Rregularly we are spending millions of dollars collectively on trash bags, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, light bulbs, and dish soap. However, all of these dollars are leaving our community! Our goal is to help change this statistic from 6 hours to 6 weeks, and to help achieve this, we need 1 million people and families to Make The Switch to support Afro owned businesses!
