HOMEplxce™ ― Short Sleeve Crop Tee

Crown yourself with energetic hospitality for livez we consent to living.

HOMEplxce™, which translates to iKhaya in isiXhosa, calls us forth to our ancestral homesteads. Our gardens. The spaces we cultivate and craft into our own with rituals, experiences, and dreaming. The places that hold our vulnerability. Our joy. What does it mean to come home to you? Drawing from bell hooks' articulation of "homeplace" as "a site of resistance," a place "where we can recover ourselves." Our use of the "x" instead of "a" in HOMEplxce, illuminates the various ways Black queer peoples have cultivated HOMEplxces that "subvert" the structural world that seeks their undoing. We know that HOME is not always a building, or made up of biological family members. We know that coming HOME to oneself is the work of continual unconditional love.
Welcome HOME, Sib!

Co-imagine. Co-heal. Co-create.
What are you conjuring?

“The healing… you create community. I’m so happy. Because of your leadership and the ways in which you hold people, you love people, and you challenge people. I've been noticing a difference.”
