the founder.
Courtney Heywood Pierce, MPH
Everything I do is rooted in uplifting the Black community and reminding us of our worth.
Care Blackage started as a two-week passion project in 2020, born in the middle of a pandemic and a movement. I couldn’t protest due to health issues, so I launched this as a way to raise funds for Black-led bail funds and offer some light during a heavy time. [100% of profits from the first two months of sales went to bail funds.]
It was fast, unplanned, and completely from the heart. No business plan - just purpose.
Today, Care Blackage is a love letter in a box. I’ve sourced every item, written more than. few handwritten notes, and stamped some boxes by hand. It’s all about joy, storytelling, and amplifying Black-owned voices and brands.
