Hello Beautiful Kinfolk,

I am sending positive and healing energy to all of you!

My name is Janet Luz Sackey owner of Cultured Kinfolk. I am a proud Dominican-Ghanaian 4th generation entrepreneur from NYC in love with "the culture" and empowering my Black and Brown community.

Cultured Kinfolk is a Black Diaspora DTC lifestyle retail brand centered on affirming Black and Brown culture that has been historically ignored by highlighting our invaluable contributions, producing apparel, home goods, stationary, and accessories.

I was inspired to Cultured Kinfolk because I grow up with a colonized mentality, relaxing my hair, worshipping woman who didn't look like my family, playing into the toxic colonialisms, and unconscious of the role my ancestors played in history. As I began to uncover the dehumanizing societal veils from before my eyes, I realized that general media, society, and fashion didn't affirm the legacy of my ancestors, my culture, and lifestyle as a first generation African + Afro Latina woman. I used to think, "My people been here, where are they in design, products, and art?." That question serves as the WHY of Cultured Kinfolk. I create products, experiences, and content I want to see. I create from a place of reverence for "the culture" giving thanks to my ancestors, art, and ideas that aiding in the creation of me, you, and everything we love from music, art, poetry, food, to identity.

Thank you for stopping by and seeing yourself in the designs in this shop.
