On this 18th day of February (Black History Month 2022), I give you The Beales (sans Sanaa, track meets trump photo shoots these days). We are indeed our ancestors wildest dreams.




We are a young black family, successful, educated, and gifted. Everything the generations before us dreamed of but were denied. We are the dream realized and it feels good. The grandness of my existence is only possible because of the sacrifice and struggle of those before me. So when I show up I show out… PERIOD
I AM BLACK HISTORY
Supporting black owned businesses is one of the many ways I show up for my community. It isn’t something I do during the month of February, it’s a 365, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day affair for me. I choose to show up in the categories that bring me the most joy, that’s in fashion, beauty, food, skincare, and makeup. Today’s post is all about the FASHION!!



I decided to do a BHM family shoot featuring black designers. Our looks include pieces from Target’s Black History Month Collection featuring black owned and/or lead brands and designers like…
@ceeceesclosetnyc– Headwrap
@jdowfitness– Bodysuit
@kenzistudioco– Planner (Not photographed, link to the shop here)
@jamandrico– Creator Necklace
Visit Target’s site. Add the brands to list of favorites, you won’t be disappointed.



Xoxo,
Andrea
