Helping girls of all colors look good and love their skin
I couldn’t find skin-blending undies for my little girl so I created them for her – and for all of you out there who are trying to create a world for your girls that reflects the unique beauty of her skin – no matter the tone!
I’m a mom of three – two boys and my oldest is a girl. Like most kids today, she loves to wear leggings! But it would drive me crazy that I could often see her underwear showing through the leggings. Leggings are a problem because of kids’ underwear – they’re bright and have busy patterns that show through clothing. One day I looked in my own underwear drawer and realized that I only own underwear that cannot be seen through my clothes! I wondered why that didn’t exist for younger girls. I searched and searched for skin blending underwear for younger girls – in particular, for blending with darker skin tones. I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I decided to create it myself!
I created Cocoa Milk and Honey not only to fill a functional gap in the kids’ clothing market, but also to develop a brand that supports thriving and intentional parent/daughter relationships in the midst of a national (US) reckoning with racial inequities. Being inclusive of the range of skin tones is meant to bring our next generation of women closer than the last.
What We Value: Cocoa Milk and Honey is about great underwear and so much more. It’s about what we pass to our daughters: kindness, self-sense of beauty, humility, and empathy.
I’m very excited to share this journey with you.
Thank You,
