If you'd like to receive flowers or would like to have flowers delivered to a Black beloved please fill out the form below.  We make (10+) deliveries once a week on Wednesdays, and we're striving to grow with more support. This is a volunteer project. For our current capacity for same-week deliveries, we prioritize orders placed by Tuesdays at midnight. Thank you for your understanding.  

In 2014 a group of community members came together to celebrate Black women and girls, and honor ourselves as we mourned the loss of Teaira Whitehead. We continue to ask #WhatHappenedtoTeairaWhitehead because we will never forget our dear sibling nor any of the Black people impacted by gender-based violence. Visit this link to see what we shared. https://bit.ly/3glUC6w

We commit to and will continue to do the life-affirming work of giving Black folks our flowers while we are here. We will honor our beauty, dynamism, and power in all of our manifestations!

"Above all else, our politics initially sprang from the shared belief that Black women are inherently valuable, that our liberation is a necessity not as an adjunct to somebody else's but because of our need as human persons for autonomy. This may seem so obvious as to sound simplistic,  but it is apparent that no other ostensibly progressive movement has ever considered our specific oppression as a priority or worked seriously for the ending of that oppression. Merely naming the pejorative stereotypes attributed to Black women (e.g. mammy, matriarch, Sapphire, whore, bulldagger), let alone cataloging the cruel, often murderous, treatment we receive, indicates how little value has been placed upon our lives during four centuries of bondage in the Western hemisphere. We realize that the only people who care enough about us to work consistently for our liberation is us. Our politics evolve from a healthy love for ourselves, our sisters, and our community which allows us to continue our struggle and work." - The Combahee River Collective Statement: Black Feminist Organizing In The Seventies And Eighties.
