IAM1283 - CEO Blends the Multi-Race Culture through Apparels

Growing up in The Bronx, NYC, the middle of three first-generation kids, Brittany Pogue-Mohammed Acosta's mother (of Irish and Scandinavian descent) and her father (who immigrated from Trinidad), both extremely proud people, ensured they knew what their kids were mixed with and that they took equal pride in both sides. Now that Brittany and her husband Daniel (Puerto Rican and Black) have a daughter of their own, Brittany found herself constantly searching for products for her-books, toys, and apparel that depicted a variety of skin tones, that spoke to a child who is racially diverse-but all that she found were hair care products. So, she decided to create what she was looking for herself: a site that caters to biracial and multiracial individuals; a community where all mixed-race people can share experiences, ask questions, and just talk about the unique issues they face as racially diverse individuals. The goal at Mosaic the Label is to enable mixed-race individuals to show pride in their mix, to feel seen, to be heard, and understood. At Mosaic, they want you to know that it’s good to live in the in-between-you do not have to choose aside. After all, it’s the parts that make the whole.
