For many, coffee is a daily necessity: They grab a cup on the way out the door, gulp it down, and get to work. For Karen Ross, it’s a lifestyle. Ever since the '80s when she bought her first coffee grinder, she's been passionate about sharing her love for the brew with the greater community. Today, Karen’s the mastermind behind Cleveland Cold Brew Coffee and Cafe. "Here at our shop, we’re excited to share our delicious coffees and affordable breakfast and lunch options with our friends and neighbors. We spend up to 24 hours crafting our bold, smooth signature cold brew, but it'll only take one sip before you're hooked!"

AncientBrand was born to make people stand out from the crowd. Individuality. Each piece is designed to be comfortable and fun to wear. At the core of AncientBrand is quality, and sustainability. We design with rare semi-precious gemstones, gems, mixed metals, hand dyed silk, wood, & anything else that strikes our eyes to keep each piece original. Everything is one of a kind or produced in small batches to preserve the fun of wearing something unique. In March of 2012 AncientBrand was born. One day I was sitting and conversing with my boyfriend about photos we took at Virginia Beach and a bracelet I was making for him, and he blurted out, "It looks so Ancient yet modern, I love it." The name AncientBrand was derived from my love for History, Clothing, Culture from around the world, with a touch of modern. Ancient means to us, "Something that will last a lifetime" and that's how we make each and everyone of our pieces, to last a lifetime.

ReformedSchool is combining art, fashion, and eco friendly materials in all of its offerings. Peter's up-cycled products began in an Entrepreneurship class at Columbia College Chicago. He began making grocery totes out of t-shirts he no longer wore, but held sentimental value. ReformedSchool grew out of that project and a style conundrum. Peter wanted a bow tie made from denim and could not find one at any local retailers. He played with a number of options and decided to cut up a pair of old jeans which I no longer fit to fashion the tie. Whenever he wore the denim tie, people asked where they could get one. Now he looks for interesting prints and fabrics (both new & used), such as leather pants, scarves, shirts, skirts, and other non-traditional materials to use for his bow ties. Using recycled/repurposed materials limits the number of ties making them very unique and limited.

Hey Family! If you are reading this, I hope you have a very happy, prosperous, healthy new year! I hope to share many more moments with you all. I appreciate you all being down with me this far and up is the only direction I plan to go with your love and support. Thank you again! A little about me... since I have never formally introduced myself. I am Aleighsha Mitchell. I live in Maryland...the DMV area (Hail to the Redskins...sometimes lol). I am a professional dancer(in my head) and I am a real homebody (that’s where I do most of my dance performances lol). I love everything African and cheetah print. I am obsessed with all serial killer documentaries and rom-coms...go figure. I learned I could paint by accident...sorta. I had been in a really bad place in my life. Mentally, Spiritually, Financially and add any other negative “lly’s”... I was it. I asked God to reveal my gift, whatever it was. I just needed something to help take care of me. I went to visit family three years ago, and out of boredom, I was offered paint and a canvas to pass the time and this is what I came up with. I was so proud. I had never thought about painting. This is what I asked for...just didn’t know yet. So, I went home and showed my family and they encouraged me to keep going. They bought me paint, brushes, canvas and snacks...you need those for all-nighters lol. I asked God before I create anything to use me in His name, as I do with everything, and I went to work. Night after night, no shower (Eww..I know), no sleep...I couldn’t stop. I had painted so much that no longer had anywhere else to hang anything. So I stepped out on faith and decided to share one online.

Ever since I was little I did arts and crafts with my aunt. It has always been a part of my life. A few years ago, I was watching TV with my husband and noticed beaded jewelry all over the place. I told him I could make those. The next day at work, I made my first bracelet and sold it 5 minutes later. People started lining up for my designs and I started making custom-designed beadwork as a side business. In 2019, I wanted to expand into personalized items like hair accessories and pouches so my husband and I invested in a Cricut®. I immediately got to work and received even more orders. I enjoy learning new things and I told my husband I wanted to add embroidery to further customize my designs. He did the research and surprised me with my sewing/embroidery machine. I was a little afraid to even take it out the box because I had never used a sewing machine before. Two days before Christmas in 2019, I made a giant leap and quit my job so that I could focus on my design business full time. Thankfully, my mother-in-law helped me learn the sewing machine over the winter. When the corona virus hit, I was able to create customized masks for people. I am happy to be able to contribute my work during this stressful time, bringing joy to those who want to have a one-of-a-kind mask to wear out in public. I'm excited to continue learning new skills, expanding and evolving my creations. Blinging is all done by hand... one stone at a time, and that is something that will never change.

Duodu London fuses traditional African print with contemporary fashion. The brand draws inspiration from its founders African roots. Designer Danny Kay Duod grew up in Ghana, where from a young age he used his own designs to personally explore the process of screen printing onto cloth. It was then that he set up a small business selling prints to women in the local community. From this sparked Danny’s interest in apparel design and production. Duodu London launched in 2012 as a line of t-shirts screen printed with hand drawn designs inspired by African tribal art. The brand has now expanded to offer a collection of tailored waistcoats, bow ties and pocket squares, alongside a line of bomber jackets. All garments are proudly designed and produced in London.
