Help A Black Woman Luxury Brand Become Worldwide!
Donation protected
As an independent fashion designer from the U.S., Monday's life has been anything but easy. Like many of us, she has been battling with severe depression and unhealed trauma. Monday has had a myriad of obstacles from individuals who broke her only sewing machine to being homeless, but that didn't stop her. She took those defeats and turned them into triumphs by hand embroidering garments and even creating old coffee bag pieces with nothing but her two hands – and those are just two examples of the strength and perseverance she brings to the creative world. With her platform and brand, Monday strives to inspire and encourage freelancers everywhere to never give up. Additionally, she hopes to change the narrative and negative perception society tends to have towards homeless people.
After recently going viral on Tik Tok for her infamous coffee burlap set, she has gotten a tremendous amount of orders and support, growing her brand quicker than she could have imagined. All of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to Monday's luxury fashion brand. She makes all of her pieces by hand, adding a special touch that most luxury brands no longer offer. The money would go towards mass production (as she wants to make more of her clothing accessible to a wider range of people), new sewing machines, pay for overhead, custom pieces for celebrities and influencers, outsourcing fabrics from small businesses, and most importantly, permanent housing.
Monday is deeply appreciative of all of the support the power of the internet has enabled her to have. Any donations, even $1, could go a long way for her. We invite you to be a part of Monday's story – Lift voices, stand up for the overlooked, be remembered.
