As we grow our Black Woman Owned and Operated brand, AviZodi, it is vitally important that we give back to the community that has given to us. Therefore, as a company, AviZodi has committed to donating a portion of its profits towards efforts that support social justice reform.
We pledge to invest in social justice because we believe we can create a society that thrives on fairness and equal access for all. Everyone should care about social justice and we encourage you to join us as we do our part to make this world a better place for our children, our children’s’ children, and beyond.
