Who is Color & Culture?

A small black family owned company based in Virginia, founded by a father & daughter. We created Color & Culture so that parents & grandparents everywhere (including ourselves) will have a go-to they can count on for clothing that celebrates melanin kids and their culture.

How does Color & Culture give back?

"Individual wealth is nice, but we are trying to build community wealth." -- Fatima, co-owner

We donate a portion of our proceeds from our "black girl magic" shirts to individuals experiencing sexual & domestic violence to YWCA Richmond 

We donate a portion of our proceeds from our "LGBTQ Pride Collection" to LGBTQ youth in Richmond via Nationz Foundation in Richmond, assisting the Greater Richmond Area with a special focus on the LGBTQIA+ community to access HIV and STI testing, linkage to care, and holistic services to increase wellness.

 

We donate a portion of our proceeds from our " Prioritize Black Women" shirt to support the mentoring of black school aged girls in Central VA through Pretty Purposed.
