Pride Business Highlight: Lion+Owl! 🦁🦉🏳️‍🌈


Next up in our June business highlight series: Lion+Owl!

From our friends at Lion+Owl:

At Lion+Owl, we believe every child deserves clothing that feels good, fits right, and supports who they truly are. That’s why we design sensory-friendly, comfort-first apparel that helps kids (especially our transgender kids) show up as their full, confident selves—without the distractions of tags, tight seams, or awkward fits.

And now, we’ve lowered our prices to make our inclusive designs more accessible to more families, because comfort, confidence, and self-expression shouldn’t come at a premium.

Use the code MANDY for 20% off your order and show Lion+Owl some love!

She nodded along, then after a while asked, “So… what’s an ally?” I forgot that not everyone knows what an ally is! I told her that an ally is someone from a non-marginalized group who uses their privilege to advocate for a marginalized group. They transfer the benefits of their privilege to those who lack it. She said, Oh, I’m an ally!” and gave an example of helping people in a different...
