A name holds a lot of meaning. You want your company name to represent the best of you and what you provide to others. This name does not do that. Please respect your fellow women and just change your name. Such a simple act can help take steps towards a more respectful and inclusive environment for all women and people!

This is disgusting. Your justification of the word is even worse. Just because a word can be found literate, does not mean that it is not a slur or does not have a racial interpretation. Educate yourself before you attempt to defend your vile actions.

Time to rebrand. There’s no place for racial slurs in 2018.

This is a disgusting display from uninformed privileged women. These women clearly don’t care about the well being of indigenous women & need to be shown just how strong we are when we all band together as well as be informed & shut down because of the blatant racism they are displaying!

Offensive to Indeginous women, no matter what tribe they are from. Now that she knows, is she going to continue using the word "s aw"?

Horrendous. I will let as many people as possible know about the racism and it will affect sales. Good luck.

Considering reps for this boutique have been responding to indigenous critics by calling them a “little sq**w gang,” as much action as possible is good. A rep for this company also has the N word all over her twitter. CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS NAME. USE THE EARNINGS TO SEEK ANTI OPPRESSION EDUCATION

You said it was a careful decision picking this name, implying that you knew this was a racial slur from the getgo. I urge you to reconsider your decisions and hold yourself accountable. Also, research #MMIW and native womxn’s modern experiences with the slur. If you have any ethical bone in your body, you’ll at least empathize with these stories. The unfortunate part is that it requires some folks to hear the [actually] gore-y details of others’ sufferings before you set your greed and selfishness aside. I’m so disappointed. Creator is surely disappointed.
