Old Navy: Love Wins Over Hate

Perhaps you have seen the social media backlash against Old Navy and their interracial family picture. If you haven't, here's the scoop: April 29, 2016 - Old Navy published a coupon code for its customers along side of a beautiful photo of a family wearing some of the brand's clothing.

photo from Old Navy What's the problem you ask? It comes as you read the comments. “Absolutely disgusting. What’s next? Gender neutral bathrooms? Pedophilia acceptance propaganda!? Never shopping here again,” wrote one follower, while another jumped in with, “Stop promoting miscegenation or else I’m taking my $$$ elsewhere.” This is 2016, right? I'm a tad bit (understatement of the year) disappointed in the direction that our society is leaning. How can people feel hatred towards others based on a skin color or a blending of colors? How can they threaten to take their money elsewhere if advertising spotlights mixed raced families? Do these people live in a hole? How do they ride the subway, buy groceries, walk down the street without exploding with hatred? This is the way the world should be. Over time, there will be no specific racial colors because all ethnicities will have crossed and we will be one happy rainbow. (A hippie can dream anyway.)

I digress. The story at hand is simple: We support #OldNavy and the #LoveWins campaign that has become their hashtag. (We also love that this hashtag is being used in every situation that involves relationships that deserve support!) The best part? We are not alone! Go check out all the #LoveWins photos and comments, and post your support too! Austin tweets a photo of his gorgeous interracial family saying: Props on this ad! My family and I appreciate it. #RepresentationMatters

Totally recommend 100% great gifts and customer service is amazing. Thank you so much Breann for assisting me! I got my grandmother the angel bear singing happy birthday from her mother who passed away last year. She would always call and sing happy birthday to all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. ALL of them. Never missed one. And this helped her to still have that last year and many years to come.

Where to begin. My son Davin was stillborn last year and I was for fortunate enough to have had his heart beat recorded. I found healing in taking My Heartbeat Bear animals and adding weight to them for other bereaved parents to have something special to hold and cuddle. I’ve since started a non profit called Our Baby’s Legacy for pregnancy and infant loss support, and these weighted animals are a big part of what we do.
The product My Baby Heartbeat Bear makes is really great quality, which is extra important for me considering they may become some parents most cherished possessions after their loss. The animals are super soft and I absolutely love the vintage design where they are floppy and cuddly, and just the perfect size. I also love that there are so many choices, I’m always touched by why one parent chooses one over the other. Seems like a small feature, but to be able to choose a cow because thief nursery was to be barnyard themed, or a bunny bc their baby was born in the spring, is something very special.
I also have found working with the company to be a wonderful experience. Sheldon is who interact with most. When first setting up my account he offered a free sample and has since sent me samples of other items by them. I’ve had to call and add last minute animals to my order or request they be processed ASAP and he and the other staff have always been very accommodating.
I can’t say enough about how easy they make my job. they don’t likely know it but they are making a massively positive impact in the bereavement community with these animals through Our Baby’s Legacy. The animals bring light and comfort into the lives of an otherwise dark and broken place.
