Peace Kings and Queens,

My name is S'immone Rose, founder and CEO of Melanin Rose. Melanin Rose was established in 2019 with the goal to put an end to colorism by way of empowerment via fashion. Throughout history, Black and Brown people have been conditioned to believe that the tone of our skin has a bearing on how good-looking, intelligent, successful, or desirable we are. Here at Melanin Rose, we know that ALL shades of Melanin, no matter how dark or light, are beautiful and something to be proud of. Colorism within our communities and culture has caused significant emotional and psychological damage among our people and it must be eliminated. Melanin Rose is dedicated to being part of that elimination effort, because #ALLMELANINMATTERS.

With all my (melanated) love,

S'immone Rose
