Although it was declared a federal holiday just two years ago, Juneteenth has been celebrated by many Black families for generations.
True Religion has joined forces with Still Rising Corp. for its annual Leimert Park Juneteenth Festival. The Black arts and culture community-driven festival celebrates tradition through art, music, food, cultural programming, networking and educational opportunities.
The event will include a True Religion pop-up featuring a capsule collection with True creator Devin Mercadel, True Religion x AG Club T-shirts and a limited-edition festival tee. In addition, the brand will also host a Q&A panel with the Leimert Park team.In honor of activist Opal Lee, who was helmed as the “grandmother of Juneteenth,” Signet Jewelers is collaborating with the Black Employee Network BRG to create a special edition pendant.
The pendant, which is being sold at Zales and Kay Jewelers, features a lab-created black opal cabochon set in sterling silver, a band of polished 10-karat yellow gold and a star-shaped backplate design with the year “1865.” Representing vibrant light and color emerging from darkness, a percentage of sales from the pendant will be donated to the Black in Jewelry Coalition, which strives for the advancement of Black professionals within the gem, jewelry and watch industry.The beauty brand is bringing back its Beauté Noir Fest to Atlanta on June 17.
