"I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin. I am the barren one and many are my daughters. I am the silence that you can not understand. I am the utterance of my name."

Sewing and up cycling should be what you look into. What distinguishes cottagecore for black and other nymphets of color is your connection to your roots. It is anti capitalist in nature as it's about the rejection of eurocentricity and reclaiming the earth that was built by and taken from us. Sewing ur clothes out of curtains and other fabrics and up cycling things you already own is key. Also purchasing items from local stores run by BIPOC puts money back into their hands and gives you good quality, authentic items.
