YES, IT HAS A DOUBLE MEANING. WE'LL GLADLY EXPLAIN:
No, we aren't in professional boxing, but the "rope-a-dope" strategy is a fitting metaphor for what we're about. When your back is against the ropes, in that corner, you keep moving. You outlast your opponent, and you win the fight.
And yes, obviously, "ropa" means "clothes" and "dope" means "dope."
As in, "those clothes are dope." Style is addictive. Keep up.
BETTER IN COMMUNITY.
Everyone has their own conviction. Ours isn't necessarily unique, but it is specific. Over the span of thirty years, Lynn, Massachusetts has been our hub, and this underappreciated, resilient city deserves to be celebrated. We live and work here. Our church community is here. We support non-profits here. We run kids' programming here. We're social workers here.
People will come and go, and a lot of them won't get it. Why planting roots is important. Why immersion leads to trust and blessings. Why consistency is key, and everything is better in community.
FOCUSED GIVING:
Each Ropa Dope product is used to illuminate local community organizations. Portions of Ropa Dope proceeds will benefit these causes near and dear to us in our great city of Lynn; causes run by real people supporting real people.
This includes East Coast International Church, The Haven Project, North Shore Juneteenth Association, El Centro, and many more collaborations to come.
