Three packages. Three reminders that sometimes the comeback begins one order at a time.

After unexpectedly closing Pride & Paddles for over a month, I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I reopened. To see orders already coming in just three days later means more to me than I can put into words.

To everyone who has placed an order, shared a post, liked, commented, or simply continued to support this small business—thank you. Your encouragement has been felt every step of the way.

These are tomorrow’s shipments, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be creating again. Here’s to new beginnings and continuing to honor the culture—one package at a time. ā¤ļøšŸ–¤

Happy Monday! ā˜€ļø
As we begin a new week, here’s a reminder that your legacy isn’t something you wait to create—it’s something you build every single day through your character, your purpose, and the impact you leave on others.
At Pride & Paddles, we believe every HBCU graduate, student, educator, and supporter is part of a legacy worth celebrating.
Walk confidently.
Build intentionally.
Honor your culture.
Have an amazing week, family. šŸ¤Ž

šŸ¤Ž WE’RE BACK!
After an unexpected personal loss, I stepped away from Pride & Paddles to spend time with my family and focus on getting myself together personally.
I want to sincerely thank each of you for your patience, grace, and continued support during this season. Your kindness, understanding, and encouragement have meant more than you know.
I’m excited to share that Pride & Paddles officially reopens on August 1st! I’m looking forward to getting back to doing what I love—creating apparel that honors the culture and serving this incredible community.
This little business has always been more than apparel to me. It’s a creative outlet, a passion, and a way to celebrate our culture. Being able to return to it feels like a step forward, and I’m grateful to be back.
Thank you for sticking with me through this chapter. Here’s to new beginnings, fresh creativity, and everything that’s ahead.
See you August 1. Thank you for waiting for me. šŸ¤Ž
