Welcome to my mental health awareness t-shirts and candle business! My name is Shardae, and I created this business because I can personally relate to the struggles of anxiety and depression. My goal is to create a community where my audience and I can connect, share our experiences, and find comfort in knowing we are not alone.
With my t-shirts, I aim to help you feel heard and give you a “voice” without having to speak. I believe that by wearing these t-shirts, you can express your feelings and connect with others who understand what you’re going through. My ideal customers are Black men and women who are currently dealing with or have dealt with depression and anxiety. I understand the unique challenges we face, especially the cultural expectation not to express our feelings or “tell our business.”
Through my own journey of opening up about my mental health struggles, I have discovered the power of communication and connection. I want to help others experience this same sense of understanding and support. I see myself working with my customers for the next 20 years, building a community where we can share our stories and support one another.
I hope that my business will show you that you are not alone in your struggles and that together, we can create a positive impact. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
