M^u
M^u (pronounced: em-power-you) is a jewelry brand curated to
empower and transform. All components of this brand are curated
to cultivate positive energy through physical and mental
transformation. M^u will follow the business model of releasing
different collections inspired by a specific issue or niche
community.
The first collection from M^u takes
inspiration from the tribulations faced by Third Culture Kids.
TCKs are those raised in cultures different from their birth or
ethnic culture. While this lifestyle promotes a well-founded
worldview and kinship with various cultures, it comes with its
share of obstacles. For instance, TCKs face the deep-seated
conflict of identity that stems from the clash and insecurity of
cultural values.
These pieces desire to ease the
friction between clashing ideologies, values, and identities.
The visual manifestation of coexisting elements of culture
reassures TCKs that balance is possible. Furthermore, the
physical action of wearing the pieces will have a physical and
mental transformation aligned with the mission of M^u.
