Black-Indigenous and raised on the Navajo Rez, Diamond Johnson is the self-taught force behind Before The A.M. Her work blends ancestral memory with hyper-contemporary graphic art, taking shape in hand-sculpted jewelry made from polymer clay — earrings, bolos, and pins that carry the same raw energy and layered meaning as her illustrations.

Diamond’s designs feel like late-night thoughts before sleep — raw, personal, and vivid. Her portraits often pull from the people and moments that made her: family, friends, and the in-between spaces of culture and selfhood. Before The A.M. is more than a brand — it’s a snapshot of spirit before the world wakes up.

DayDay Edison is a queer Indigenous TikTok creator and the founder of Bare Skin Beauty, a skincare brand blending cultural roots, natural ingredients, and bold self-expression. Raised in Tuba City and rooted in both Lakota and Navajo heritage, DayDay uses his platform to champion empowerment, Two-Spirit visibility, and accessible skincare for rez kids and beyond. With dreams of becoming the first Native American male dermatologist, he’s redefining what it means to care for your skin—and yourself—with tradition, purpose, and a splash of pink.

Born out of pandemic-era mutual aid, Masani’s Beauty brings Native representation to contemporary fashion through slow, intentional design. Based in the Four Corners, each piece is handcrafted by the founder and designer herself, blending upcycled materials, Native prints, and traditional influences to create one-of-a-kind garments that challenge fast fashion’s disposability. We’re thrilled to be adding a few of their standout pieces to The Trading Post soon—made with care, meant to last.
