Walking through Harlem and finding a mini farm tucked between the blocks—that’s the kind of day that just feels right. 🌱🍅 Big love to everyone who volunteer their time to build these small sanctuaries uptown. It's more than gardens—it’s community.

Limited drop. Mother's Day is May 11th. Don’t sleep.⁠ More accessories coming—but this one won’t wait for you.⁠ ⁠ Designed in Harlem. Made in India.⁠ Built for everyday flexes and gala nights alike.⁠ Because representing your hood hits different when it’s Harlem.⁠ #harlem

Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, one block from NiLu, is so peaceful in the early morning. We enjoy walking in and around the park to clear our heads before we open the shop. Very grateful to have such a beautiful space in our community. FOR THE CULTURE(D) #harlem #mmpcia #ce

We needed to take a social break. Its been 32 days, 12 hours, and 33 seconds. That’s how long I’ve been away. We hit a big phatt wall -- burnt out and unable to keep up the planning, constant posting, creativity, and trying to keep up with everything in our world. So jus
