Roots Studio is a New York based startup created by Rebecca Hui. It designs things influenced by Indigenous artists with two goals in mind. Their first goal is to give back the appreciation, credit and respect that the Indigenous artists deserve. Their second goal is to stop the cycle of cultural appropriation. Rebecca has been working with minority and Indigenous artists for the last ten years. She discovered that because of the lack of money and education, these artists were becoming laborers in cities. They could not make art. So Hui decided to create Roots Studio to form connections between communities and fashion to stop cultural loss and create more beauty in the world.
