Product Story & Maker
The BRANDED Collective works with survivors of human trafficking from Nashville-based non-profit End Slavery Tennessee. BRANDED is an economic empowerment jobs program where the women design and handcraft the jewelry collection.
Many victims of human trafficking are BRANDED; their captors physically mark them with a number or symbol. The process is often violent: a forced tattoo, a burn or knife cut. The BRANDED Collective stands against this brutal practice. Each BRANDED item is stamped with an initial and given a number. The initial belongs to the survivor who made your necklace. You can read her story on our website.
When we started BRANDED in 2012, we stamped 100 numbers on 100 cuffs. We are now more than 40,000 numbers strong! In collaboration with Kelley Wolf, we are thrilled to welcome you into our Collective. Together we can empower survivors of human trafficking to rise above the branding and the trauma they have been given. Together we can wearthe story, sharethe story and changethe story while being reminded to live in FLOW.
