Turning Trials into Triumphs: How We Persevere Through Art Theft

At Promise & Purpose, we pour our hearts into every piece of art we create. From the inspirational messages to the vibrant designs, each product is born from a place of prayer, passion, and authenticity. However, as we’ve grown, we've experienced the painful reality many small businesses face—having our artwork stolen.

One of our most beloved designs, "Girl, You Got This," has been a beacon of inspiration for many, especially for our CEO, who created the most stolen design in her own image. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most frequently copied by opportunistic companies, many of which are based overseas. They’ve taken our hard work and reproduced it, selling on platforms like Temu and TikTok, hoping to make a quick profit from our labor and vision.

Seeing our art, which was created to uplift and encourage, used by others without permission or credit can be disheartening. But in moments like these, we remind ourselves why we started Promise & Purpose. We’re not just creating beautiful designs; we’re building a community. Our mission is to provide quality products that resonate deeply with our customers and represent the diverse beauty and strength within our culture.

These challenges only affirm the power of what we’re doing. If our designs weren’t meaningful, they wouldn’t be worth copying. That’s a testament to the love, creativity, and thought we pour into every product we offer. But no one can replicate our authenticity. No knockoff version can duplicate the care and intention behind each piece we create.

We choose to focus on our incredible community—the people who support us, share our vision, and stand with us through every challenge. The counterfeiters may try to mimic our art, but they can’t steal the connection we have with all of you. Every purchase, every kind word, and every share strengthen our purpose.

At the end of the day, obstacles like this remind us of the strength we carry. We are built to persevere, and we are motivated to keep creating, knowing that our impact goes beyond what can be stolen. We’re proud to lead a brand that represents hope, empowerment, and perseverance—and that’s something no one can take away from us.

To those who have supported Promise & Purpose through these trials, we see you, and we appreciate you. You are the reason we continue to push forward, creating products that reflect our mission to uplift and inspire. Together, we rise above the copycats and keep shining.

Stay inspired, stay strong, and never stop believing in your power.
Girl, you got this!
