CJ was America's first ever millionairess! We love her female entrepreneurship. She saw what we would now refer to as a "gap in the market," for effective hair care products for black women.   In honor of Black History month we want to pay homage to a key player in the tapestry of black history. I just learned about Madam CJ Walker this year, while working in a third-grade classroom. I'm so thankful our youth are becoming better acquainted with and educated about such black, female influencers in society that were sheltered from me when I was a kid.   CJ...

Every day, we plug away at not only growing Tillage but deepening it as well. Sometimes that looks like smaller numbers in the moment, but we believe our grassroots ways are worth the wait. The seed we're tossing in some seemingly arid cracks right now looks like connecting with current and potential customers. Building authentic relationship is invaluable to us. We want to know their story, your story. We want to know why you shop and what is most important to you when you spend your hard-earned money. And we want to know what we can do better as a...

Horses are healers.   Beautiful dreamers with huge hearts are getting it done. They are literally digging new ground for long-anticipated dreams to continue to bring holistic healing and recovery for survivors of human trafficking and marginalized in society... with horses!    BLOC Ministries has been digging deep in their Price Hill community for years, causing a crazy, glorious ripple effect of light and love in their town and beyond.

Isn't it funny how when we learn something new, it seems like everyone ought to know about our lightbulb moment? I don't necessarily mean declaring your new found knowledge to the world, but having an unspoken expectation that the people around you, especially in your field, most likely already have stumbled upon the same information. This past weekend, Tillage had the joy and honor to be a part of our first ever trade show. It was such a learning experience. Though our initial goals were more numbers related, our takeaways were much deeper and longer lasting, like more brand aligned...

We are so proud to launch our new Tillage T-shirt. It's unisex, to help make our line more cohesive for all that we have in store. The t-shirts themselves were stitched in LA by Bella + Canvas, a sustainable brand, that is as buttery soft as our notoriously comfortable pants.   What's more is, the screen printed logo on the front of each shirt was stamped on by a local human trafficking survivor! She is our friend, and we are so proud of how far she's come and kicking butt along the way.
