There’s no doubt our associate spotlight series has been the highlight of our Black History Month celebration! This week, we’re excited to introduce a few members of our #YOUinrue style community. These three have made an impact in the fashion world across social media and we’re proud to consider them as part of the rue21 fam.   

Continuing our Black History Month spotlight series: We asked our associates about the impact of their culture on their view of the world and how their background helps them establish connections. Where we come from shapes how we live and interact with the world, and understanding different POVs helps us empathize with others as we work toward a more inclusive future.  

Where has the time even gone? Our Black History Month celebration is already halfway through! We're back with another employee spotlight to share with you. This topic is especially personal: “When do you feel the most YOU?” Keep reading to learn when our associates feel the most authentic and true to themselves.

We’re continuing our Black History Month spotlight series and sharing rue21 associates’ most cherished childhood memories.
