“My goal is to create an inclusive brand that celebrates the complex beauty of being human.”

Here’s my truth…

Bathing saved me.

The story of Bathe Brand began when I was in dire need of a ritual to re-connect with my emotional self and heal my body. I’d completely lost touch and was struggling with issues around identity and spirituality.  I was also developing a painful skin disorder. 

Every doctor I visited prescribed a harsh steroid cream and well wishes which quickly frustrated me. I knew that those options weren’t healthy or sustainable. I also knew that I couldn’t afford a beauty haul of over the counter products that weren’t guaranteed to work or a spa treatment that would have soothed my nerves more than my wounds.  

  I realized that if I was going to be well, I’d have to make it happen and find a way to facilitate my healing. I was at a real crossroads but the options were clear. I chose to embark on a journey of discovery, restoration, and affirmation.

I gathered my resources and counted my blessings.

I was lucky enough to have an NYC apartment with a bathtub and I was humble enough to use my snap benefits to buy whole foods that could be used for skincare.

I took a bath every day for 3 months and began to make food-based remedies in my kitchen. My bath time quickly became a space for fluid meditation, and I was curiously driven to begin herbalism studies. Over time, my skin healed, I learned to love myself as a black queer woman, and I received a spiritual lifeline that continues to sustain me. 

Bathe Brand is the sum of my heart work. It is both a labor of love and a pure offering for anyone who resonates with the brand, the products, or my story. 

 I am honored to share my work with you. Thank you for sharing this journey with me and for trusting Bathe Brand on yours. 

With love,
