Best Practices

• •Embrace "Unapologetic" Language: Use direct, confident, and proud language. Avoid watering down messages to appease a broader audience if it compromises the core message of Black empowerment and reclamation. Terms like "unapologetic," "bold," "proud," and "reclaim" should be common.
• •Speak Directly to the Community: Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "our community") that fosters a sense of belonging. Acknowledge shared experiences and feelings within the Black community.
• •Integrate the Mission into Product Narratives: Don't just describe the product; tell the story behind it and how it connects to the brand's values of affirmation, representation, or reclamation. Explain *why* a piece was created.
• •Be Authentic and Relatable: Draw from real experiences, frustrations, and joys that resonate with the target audience. Avoid corporate jargon and maintain a voice that feels genuine and connected to the culture.
• •Educate and Spark Dialogue (When Appropriate): While selling products, don't shy away from opportunities to educate about the cultural significance of certain terms (like "nappy") or issues the brand stands for. Encourage thoughtful conversation, even if it means being a little provocative.
