Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Commitment

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Commitment

At Hopeful Romantic Art, we believe that creativity, love, and self-expression belong to everyone. Our work is rooted in the idea that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and inspired, no matter their background, identity, or story.

We are a women-owned and women of colour–led small business, and our experiences shape the way we create, collaborate, and connect. We know that representation matters in the spaces we build, the images we share, and the community we grow.

What We Stand For

Equity: We recognize that not everyone begins from the same starting point. We are committed to doing our part to bridge those gaps by supporting inclusive practices, fair partnerships, and ethical production.

Diversity: We celebrate difference in all its forms: race, gender, sexuality, ability, body, age, and culture. Our creations and affirmations are designed to reflect the wide spectrum of human experience.

Inclusion: We strive to create spaces (both online and offline) where everyone feels welcome and respected. From our imagery to our collaborations, we aim to uplift voices that have been historically underrepresented.

Our Commitments in Action

  • We partner with local printers who share our environmental and ethical standards.
  • We ensure our language and imagery reflect a wide range of identities and lived experiences.
  • We intentionally source from women-owned, BIPOC-owned, and small Canadian suppliers whenever possible.
  • We continue to learn, listen, and grow because inclusion isn’t a checkbox, it’s an ongoing practice.

Our Promise

Hopeful Romantic Art is a love letter to self-acceptance, healing, and hope. We’re committed to building a creative space that reflects the beauty of diversity, where everyone can see themselves in the stories we tell and the products we make.

Together, we believe that love is expansive, mindfulness is for everyone, and community is strongest when every voice is heard.
