I am Carolyn the founder of Cherish Me. We are a mum and daughter family business and my eldest daughter is the illustrator for Cherish Me. We initially started our business to create gifts, where brown and black girls were able to see a representation of themselves. We felt that it was important for girls of different skin tones and diversity, to see positive images of themselves when they received our gifts.
Our aim is to encourage and empower girls to be the best version of themselves!
Over the years, we have also created well-being products for boys, following many requests from our customers. In 2021 we have had many requests to have gifts for babies and so we now have greeting cards and milestone cards for babies.
Child emotional wellness is at the forefront of our business and most of our gifts reflect this.
Our gifts include:
Journals for both boys and girls
Affirmation cards
Self care card
Stationery and accessories
Greeting cards
Wall art
Handmade Fabric bags
As a working mum, I would say : team up with other mum's or groups for support.
Manage your time: I'm learning to juggle business life and work life. Planning content a week ahead.
Staying positive! sometimes we have to take a step back to see how far we have come, particularly on the days when things are not going as we had hoped for.
