Sampson and Delilah
Sampson’s feet pound the pavement of his usual path. He likes to run, no really, he actually enjoys it.

Their company mascot is a green Brontosaurus named DINO - and all of these facts are some of Mama’s favorite things in life.

Annie Christmas Goes to The Farm
Annie Christmas felt she was set up to fail in life. To the objective observer, her deduction seems fair enough. Annie was raised in an environment where she was scrutinized and othered and pressured by the majority for most of her upbringing. This occurred because she was the only black girl in her rural, all white, bayou town.

Purchase Now!
Minnie walked through life collecting moments and insignia and affirmations and energy from the universe, an understanding - unknowingly. Minnie walked through life without knowing that’s what she was collecting. She was collecting the future, past, present, the maiden, mother, crone.
