DESCRIPTION: “This unique earring is an homage to my best friend, Natalia, who has always empowered me and showed me the beauty of my gender expression and sexuality. She lights up the room and makes everyone feel comfortable. Natalia Ap Chante means “Natalia is singing” in Haitian Creole. Music is an important part of our friendship and you know we’re gonna sing along to every word of our favorite song at the moment! Erzili O by Ram is one of our faves!” -Steven Baboun
