Growing up, I had a strong sense of what my culture was like. I knew that we were an expressive people.  We were warm, caring, and always ready to say how much we cared about someone.  But when it came to the actual cards we gave on birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions, they didn't reflect our true selves.  They were generic and boring.  And they didn't really say anything about us or our relationships with the people receiving them.

I wanted more than that for myself and my community.  I wanted to live in a world where our authentic voices were seen in everything we did—especially when it came to greeting cards.

That's why I founded Kindred Paper: because every person deserves to take up space in this world and have their reflections seen in every single thing that they do.
