Anact Featured in Oprah Magazine, Drew Barrymore, and more

Anact partners with local non-profit, SurfearNegra and NY time photographer, Malcolm Jackson, to bring to life a limited edition Anact tote bag to raise awareness for the BLM movement. This tote bag includes a photo of GiGi Lucas, the founder of SurfearNegra, on American Beach, which was one of the only beaches in the South that African Americans could swim at during the Jim Crow era. On the back of the tote is a special poem written by GiGi. \r\n\r\nThe goal of the tote bag was to break stigmas and stereotypes that prevent people of color from being connected to the water. Anact was able to send 10 young girls of color to learn how to surf and was featured in Oprah Magazine, Drew Barrymore, and more.
