5 Brands to Shop During Disability Pride Month (and every month!)
July Is Disability Pride Month! Disability Pride Month is all about celebrating those with disabilities, as well as educating about disabilities.
Today we’re sharing 5 brands that you should shop this month for Disability Pride Month (and every month to celebrate those with disabilities!). We have a wide range of products from clothing to coffee and we’re sure you’ll find something you like to support these amazing small businesses!
You have probably seen their ads but we love the products from Two Blind Brothers! They are an apparel company created to raise funds for blindness research! They even have campaigns where you “buy something blind” where you get a surprise item and all the proceeds go to Foundation Fighting Blindness.
While not a company run by those in the blindness community, they are a company hiring those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), a community WSB is actively working to help through our Group Home renovation! Bitty and Beau’s is a chain of coffeeshops across the country help those with I/DD gain sustainable employment through the coffeeshop. From their website: “The Wrights believe that Bitty & Beau’s Coffee creates a path for people with disabilities to become more valued, accepted and included in every community.”
One of WSB’s favorite apparel companies, EyeSwear apparel is run by Kim from Navigating Blindness and her son, Kai. The clothing items have phrases in text and a sarcastic saying in braille underneath. These t-shirts are a great way to add some sarcasm in your life and support a small business!
Another fun Etsy shop is Braille Cards by Amber! You can get custom designed braille cards from greeting cards to wedding save the dates. She even creates tactile images.
5. Cleanlogic
Cleanlogic is a bath and body care company based in Pennsylvania. Cleanlogic is committed to creating sustainable products and is even a “brand with braille”. Each product has braille on the packaging and a portion of each sale goes to a nonprofit serving those who are blind and visually impaired.
