Brielle Anyea Donates 50% of Her Company’s Profits to Bail Out Protesters
SI Swimsuit model search finalist Brielle Anyea announced Saturday that she will donate 50% of the profits from her company MissesBrie to organizations that are providing support to peaceful protesters. The support will include bailouts and PPE supplies and will run now through June 4.
“I am a black woman,” Brielle wrote to her followers on Instagram. “I am a new black business owner, but I am willing to step up and do what I can do to make sure my people are okay.”
Brielle launched her swimwear line MissesBrie back in December after months of teasing her followers with photos of her trendy designs. The collection is size inclusive offering S-4X and fully designed to give women confidence. “For the women that take risks and the ones that break rules made to silence them.” says Brielle in her company’s mission statement.
Brielle included a list of several organizations for anyone wanting to donate directly:
The American Civil Liberties Union
Committee to Protect Journalists
“I will not be silenced and I will do what I can to make sure our voices are HEARD,” Brielle wrote in a statement published on her website. “A change will come for the better. Until then, let us continue to be in the voting booths, hear everyone's stories, and take economic control by supporting those who care about the advancement of the disadvantage.”
