Welcome to Dose of Darchelle—a space where creativity thrives, and every piece tells a story of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). My journey with Dose of Darchelle began shortly after completing my master's program, where I first turned to painting as a way to reflect on my studies and explore the intersection of art and social justice. What started as a small venture selling paintings has now evolved into a multifaceted business that seeks to inspire, educate, and empower through creative expression.
My Mission: Envisioning Beauty and Belonging Creatively
At Dose of Darchelle, my mission is simple yet powerful: to create a world where everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are. I achieve this by blending DEI principles with art and creativity, producing products and engaging in projects that are not just beautiful but meaningful. My merchandise, which includes scrunchies, shirts, sweatshirts, and original artwork, serves as a canvas to celebrate the rich tapestry of human diversity.
The Heart of My Work: DEI with a Creative Twist
I believe that diversity goes beyond race, gender, or ability—it’s about embracing and envisioning the unique qualities that make each person special. Dose of Darchelle is not just about creating beautiful things; it’s about sparking conversations and challenging norms. Whether it's a scrunchie adorned with patterns representing different cultures, fabrics that make us feel our very best, or a painting that reflects themes of inclusion and belonging, every piece is a statement of who we are and what we stand for.
In addition to my products, Dose of Darchelle is dedicated to educating others about DEI in fresh and engaging ways. Through my social media platforms, @doseofdarchelle and @darcylovs, I share daily doses of knowledge, highlighting key DEI terms, exploring historical and contemporary figures who have championed inclusivity, and offering tips on how to recognize and celebrate diversity in everyday life.
Expanding Our Reach: DEI Consulting with a Creative Edge
As Dose of Darchelle continues to grow, I’m excited to expand our offerings to include DEI consulting. My goal is to work with organizations and individuals who are committed to fostering inclusive environments but may not know where to start. By blending creativity with educational tools, I aim to make DEI more accessible and actionable. From workshops and speaking engagements to personalized consulting sessions, I look forward to helping others navigate their DEI journey in a way that is authentic and impactful.
Behind the Scenes: The Art of Connection
Every piece at Dose of Darchelle is crafted with care and intention. The scrunchies, for example, are not just accessories—they are small symbols of self-expression, made from materials that reflect diverse stories and cultures. Our apparel aims to be both stylish and meaningful, offering wearers a way to visibly show their commitment to inclusivity. And our art? It’s a love letter to the communities that inspire us, capturing the beauty of diversity in every brushstroke. And most importantly all is meant to be a love letter to the self so that we can envision ourselves beautifully.
