At Truly Gifted, human connection is everything. From the very beginning, our founder Jennifer had one mission in mind: to help people express their love and appreciation in meaningful, tangible ways, even when life gets busy. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our new collaboration with Ubuntu Life, a brand that shares our understanding that connection is a vital part of human existence.
Co-founded by Zane Wilemon and led creatively by Amal Wilemon, Ubuntu Life is a Kenya-based lifestyle brand. With each handmade product, Ubuntu Life provides sustainable and empowered employment to members of their community while connecting people around the world. In fact, ubuntu is an African philosophy that means "I am because we are."
Naturally, we had to bring our worlds together. We're all connected, whether you live down the street or across the country or halfway around the world (like in our case: St. Louis to Africa!). And now more than ever, small gestures of love have a big impact.
This collaboration combines Truly Gifted’s signature handwritten Token Moments with Ubuntu Life’s handmade beaded LOVE bracelets, offering tangible reminders of the people and relationships that make life special. It’s never been easier to ensure your loved ones feel seen and valued.
In addition, each purchase supports the Ubuntu Life Foundation, which provides special needs education, therapy, and training for children and young adults in Kenya. A portion of all sales are also donated to Project Healthy Minds, our ongoing charitable partner.
This partnership is about more than sending a thoughtful gift—it’s about showing up for one another. Whether it’s across the street or across the globe, every gesture of love creates a ripple. And sometimes, it starts with something as simple as a handwritten note, a pocket-sized keepsake token, and a beautiful bracelet.
We believe that meaningful connection can change everything. So go ahead: express your love, hold your love, wear your love.
