OUR MISSION
We exist to celebrate the power of self-expression through art, identity, and imagination. As a Black and queer-led studio, our mission is to create work that reflects those of us who’ve been overlooked by the algorithm and ignored by the mainstream.
We are building a world where color speaks louder, where culture isn’t watered down, and where every piece holds space for becoming in all its chaos, softness, defiance, and beauty.
Sorbet World is proudly Black and queer owned.
Everything we make starts with us. Our people. Our stories. Our futures.
We shape our collections through community input, cultural remixing, and creative technology. We are committed to work that respects both the art and the audience and we center the people who have never been centered before.
We are here to teach the algorithm who we are.
And we are doing it in full color.
Our Values
We didn’t ask for permission. We made Sorbet World because the algorithm wasn’t showing us. Not our color. Not our joy. Not our weird. Not our fire. We’re here to flip the script with bold prints, AI-powered art, and queer storytelling that doesn’t whisper. This is a space for Black brilliance, for queer vision, for whatever you’re still becoming. Everything we make is a remix — of identity, culture, tech, and truth. Made in small batches. Made with real care. Made to be felt.
WHAT WE STAND ON
Visibility is not optional. It’s a right. A spotlight. A middle finger to erasure.
Color tells the truth. It holds history, joy, rage, and resurrection.
Late bloomers are legends. Growth on your own timeline is sacred.
Tech doesn’t define us. We bend AI to mirror our souls, not the system.
Art should hit different. If it doesn’t move you, what’s the point?
The algorithm isn’t the authority. We’re here to train it to see what it keeps missing.
Joy is radical. Especially when it’s loud, queer, and unapologetically Black.
From the founder
“I started Sorbet World because I was tired of not seeing us. Tired of scrolling and feeling invisible. I wanted to make art that feels like me, and like the communities I belong to. Queer, BIPOC, body-positive, full of love, power, and becoming. This isn’t about making something cute. It’s about making something loud enough to interrupt the feed, real enough to feel like home, and honest enough to remind us we’re worth being seen in full color.”
