Every Monday we share things that inspire us in the studio, whether it be something to watch, read, listen to or places to visit. This week the subject that should be talked about and inspiring people is Black Lives Matter. We understand that racism is a huge global issue, and questioning that, or being silent about it only contributes to the problem. However, we believe this shouldn't be a tricky topic to speak up about.

We are a small brand, but behind the brand are real people, who want to educate themselves and improve for the better - not just by posting about it, but finding the right actions to contribute to the fight for justice and equality.

So this week we are sharing resources that we have found inspiring and helpful to educate us on Black Lives Matter, as well as organisations to donate to.
