SUMMARY: Blair Dr Haley and Brandon Haley are the creators of Blairisms, a brand and podcast platform that focuses on celebrating and uplifting black individuals and promoting progressive causes. They recently had one of their pieces acquired by the national museum of African-American history and culture in honor of John Lewis. Their show, The Savage Chat Series, has partnered with the Wilmington public library in Delaware and will be conducting live episodes with a live audience. Blairisms is all about activism, inspiration, reflection, and laughter, and they encourage everyone to join the movement and check them out on Instagram.

Blair and Brandon Dottin-Haley created the #BLAIRISMS in 2016 because they wanted more clothing in their closet that celebrated Black culture. They wanted more clothing options that celebrated all of the beauty in the African diaspora and the impact Black people have on global culture.
