You may have noticed we’ve been a bit quiet. That’s because this moment calls for more than business as usual. Black lives are under attack - they always have been. The recent tragedies have been a catalyst for us to wake up, we know that institutional and systemic racism impact Black lives every day. ⠀
⠀
Cinq à Sept stands with Black communities, today and every day. We are committed not only to the responsibility we have as a brand, but also individuals. We must educate ourselves and our communities on how we show up not just for this moment, but going forward. To root out racism in every place it may show up. And to invest in and empower Black experiences and leadership. ⠀
⠀
We believe that everyone must join the fight for racial justice. And that’s why we have been reflecting internally on the best way we can use our voice and influence for change. We will be sharing more soon about our commitment to this movement towards more equity and inclusion of Black experiences within our company, our industry, and most importantly, our communities. ⠀
