Perfume Company Owned By 2 Black Females Is Offering Unique Gift For Mother’s Day
BY MONIQUE STAMPS Sentinel Feature Writer
With our current situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and modified stay- at-home recommendations, Mother’s Day may look quite different this year. Large gath- erings and taking Mom out to brunch or dinner likely will not happen this Sunday. With all the restrictions and most stores still closed, how you do find something unique and special for the person that gave you life?
One unique idea is the gift of an artisanal fragrance. Brenda McKenzie and
Mary Richardson-Lawry,
the power team behind Iden- tity Narrative, invite you to bridge the distance and capti- vate the essence of the special people you celebrate on Mother’s Day.
Ms. McKenzie states “We wanted to do something special for those who made us who we are. Fragrance can capture the spirit of the person you celebrate most.”
Identity Narrative is a company focused on perfume and scents. It is made in the United States with the highest quality products available and has no additives, chemicals, parabens, folates, or silicone.
BRENDA MCKENZIE ...is one-half of
Identity Narrative
It is vegan and cruelty-free. The name is based on the
principle of people being their own storyteller and scent being a part of one’s self. Identity Narrative is a theory that proposes that individuals integrate their lives with expe- riences to form an internal sense of purpose. Scent is one of the ways that help us from that sense of self. What a spe- cial gift to share with a loved one!
Identity Narrative is gen- der-neutral making it versatile and wearable.
To support a business owned by two women of color, visit its website at www.identi- tynarrative.com. If you would like an order in time for
Mother’s Day, local customers can email the company at hello@identitynarrative.com by Thursday and Identity Nar- rative will do their best to arrange a personal delivery or pick up. Identity Narrative will include a personalized note on your behalf with your gift.
