At Lux Lifestyle, our mission goes beyond luxury gifting; it’s about creating meaningful change. Founded in 2022, we dedicate our efforts to supporting teens in foster care and those who care for them—a cause close to my heart. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the profound legacy of a man whose words and actions continue to inspire movements for justice and equality.
Dr. King once said, "The time is always right to do what is right." This timeless wisdom reminds us that every moment presents an opportunity to act with integrity and courage. But one of my all time favorite quotes by Dr. King captures the essence of perseverance: "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." It’s a powerful reminder that progress isn’t always swift, but the commitment to continue, no matter the pace, is what truly matters.
When I was in high school, my dad encouraged me to read The Children by David Halberstam, a compelling account of the civil rights movement. The book taught me that the courage and determination of young people can drive monumental change. It also underscored the importance of collective action and the strength found in unity.
At Lux Lifestyle, these lessons resonate deeply. Our commitment to supporting foster care teens is our way of contributing to a more just and compassionate world. As we honor Dr. King's legacy, we’re reminded that every step we take, big or small, brings us closer to meaningful change. Let’s continue to move forward, together, in the spirit of love, justice, and resilience.
