Meet Aurora James —the founder of the Fifteen Percent Pledge and Creative Director and founder of the luxury accessories brand Brother Vellies ! ✨ She established the Fifteen Percent Pledge in June 2020, a non-profit advocacy organization that works with retailers to diversify their shelves and pledges 15% of their purchasing power to Black-owned businesses, with the goal of bridging the racial wealth gap.
