The Sistaaa's Podcast

We’re back with another season of the Sistaaa’s Podcast but this time the Chicago Edition! Meet Charlye, the Co-CEO of Give Yourself Flowers. I met Charlye at the Black Girl Art Show in Chicago where she was a vendor at the event. While walking around the venue, I was amazed by all the beautiful women in the room selling their products. I stopped at Charlye’s table where I was able to create my own bouquet and write my own affirmations to go with the flowers. It wasn’t until we connected later that I was able to learn more about this brand. “Give Yourself Flowers is primarily a clothing brand, and I’ve added the bouquet-making as an interactive extension of the line because I genuinely love flowers - and because of the idea “give yourself flowers’ is at the heart of the brand.” - Charyle.
