As today is the day to show gratitude, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. You have been a part of the Twenty-Eight Minna journey, and your support means everything to us. Whether you discovered a new favorite piece, shared your experience with friends, or simply followed along with our story, you have helped make Twenty-Eight Minna more than a jewelry brand - you have made it a community. This Thanksgiving, I hope you are surrounded by love, laughter, and cherished moments with those who matter the most.

Twenty-Eight Minna is turning six months old this month!! And what an accomplishment this is!  When I officially launched Twenty-Eight Minna back in March I was extremely nervous. I spent two years preparing, researching, and vetting my manufacturers to make sure Twenty-Eight Minna would be everything I wanted it to be - a trusted brand for affordable luxury jewelry that is lifeproof.

Twenty-Eight Minna started the month of April with a successful pop-up event!! We participated in the 2024 LadyLike PowHER Summit as a vendor at the Des Moines Marriott Downtown Hotel. LadyLike - established in 2017 - is an initiative to inspire and empower Black and African women in the Greater Des Moines Area while addressing the racial wealth gap through training, mentoring and entrepreneur support.

In July, Twenty-Eight Minna had the pleasure of being featured on Des Moines KCCI News 8 as a part of their coverage of McKenzie Kerry, 2024 Miss Iowa USA. As an owner of a Black-owned, small business this was a HUGE opportunity for me to showcase my business and the luxury pieces Twenty-Eight Minna has to offer! If you did not get to see the featured story you can find it on our website here.  Watch Miss Iowa USA McKenzie Kerry compete for the 2024 Miss USA crown on the CW Network Sunday, August 4th at 8pm (ET).

As we continue to grow and evolve, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your support. At Twenty-Eight Minna, we understand that being a small business means every customer matters, and you have truly made a difference in our journey.
