About Us

Welcome to Keep It How You Kept It. My name is Amanda, and this isn’t just a business—it’s my story. For years, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery, learning that I’m not only creative and hardworking, but also someone who’s quietly overcome challenges that didn’t always have a clear name.

Now, as a single mom in my 40s returning to college, I’m finally leaning into my passion for creating—while also learning more about the way my mind works, with a bit of gentle guidance along the way. This journey is part of what inspired me to start this brand.

Keep It How You Kept It is about resilience—staying true to your values, your people, and yourself, even when life gets hard. Choosing a partner who has been incarcerated for over twenty years and unable to contribute, I’ve taken it upon myself to build a future for my family by getting a degree in family life and human development to help others, and using my creativity, grit, and vision.

When you support this brand, you’re not just buying a product—you’re standing behind a story of perseverance, loyalty, and the belief that we can create something meaningful from even in the toughest circumstances.

Thank you for being here. You’re now part of the journey.
