Sydney James

Sydney James

Founder Julie Anderson started Sydney James as a thank-you letter to her dad, who passed away in 2012. It was her dad who introduced her to and nurtured her love of golf. Sydney James serves as an invitation for a new wave of golfers to get involved in a game that so many love - with better clothes, and the best of company. All while honoring the past, looking to the future, and celebrating today. 

Teas With Meaning

Teas With Meaning

Kamilah Mitchell founded Teas With Meaning in 2018 following a cancer diagnosis the previous fall. It was on the land of Mount Shasta, California where she realized all the herbs and magic she needed to heal were at her fingertips. Every tea blend is intentionally created to include various wellness benefits without compromising taste. Teas With Meaning is based in Oakland, California, with “magic as the main ingredient”, and serves as Studio Black’s preferred tea vendor.
