Posted by Dan Barry on
Charity Spotlight: CMMB CMMB, aka Catholic Medical Mission Board, is a faith-based non-governmental organization that provides healthcare solutions to women and children in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. You could probably guess Marc Skid was excited to partner with CMMB because, after all, one of our styles is named after a nun. But more than that, CMMB is an organization that focuses on delivering aid with dignity, respect and love. They provide long-term medical and developmental aid to communities in a sustainable way in order to strengthen and support existing systems. And of course, like all of our hand-picked...

How a pair of underwear got named after a nun
Posted by Dan Barry on
How a pair of underwear got named after a nun Sister Laurinda didn’t always want to join the convent. “In grade school, I didn’t really care for sisters - I didn’t like them. What I really wanted to do was get married and become a secretary.” But when she was a freshman in high school, she felt a calling. “I said, ‘If that’s you, God, please leave me alone,’” she remembers. After trying and failing to ignore God’s calling, she became a nun after high school graduation in 1959. Fast forward to 2017 and Sister Laurinda is now a bilingual...
