Be And Us LLC: Where Art Heals, Books Empower, and Color Creates Legacy

In the vibrant heart of Dallas, Texas, Frenchaire Gardner is building a living, breathing legacy of creativity, healing, and empowerment through her multifaceted business, Be And Us LLC. At the crossroads of art, storytelling, and soul work, Gardner blends paint, poetry, and purpose into something much deeper than commerce—a sanctuary for joy, resilience, and radical self-expression.

Founded eight years ago, Be And Us LLC is rooted in Frenchaire’s personal journey navigating mental health challenges, motherhood, and the entrepreneurial grind as a Black woman. Her offerings are a reflection of that rich, emotional tapestry: magical paint parties for children, abstract mixed media art, and an ever-growing collection of transformative books, including:

• Mommy and Daddy Do You Still Love Me Anymore? (1st and 2nd Editions)
• Gold Nuggets for Entrepreneurs (Vol. 1 & 2)
• Finding Joy in the Journey Vol. 2
• The ‘Strategy’ in Struggle
• The Single, Saved, Struggle: The Struggle Continues (audiobook)

Each canvas she paints, every workshop she leads, and all the words she writes are infused with the spirit of survival, transformation, and celebration. “Art saved me,” Gardner says, “and now I offer it as a mirror and medicine to others.”

Her creativity doesn’t stop at the page or the paintbrush. Be And Us LLC also offers wearable art and home décor—from t-shirts and tote bags to notebooks, shower curtains, and stickers—all featuring Frenchaire’s original canvas work.

Yet her proudest moment so far? Being chosen out of over 600 applicants for the Dallas Mavericks’ Minority Business Assist 2024–2025 Cohort—a powerful recognition that affirmed the value of her vision and her voice. “It was a divine confirmation that my mission belongs in rooms where futures are shaped,” she shares.

Frenchaire’s work is more than just creative—it’s cultural preservation. Her art and books uplift ancestral wisdom, Black joy, and sacred storytelling. Whether she’s guiding a child through a paint party or selling a tote bag emblazoned with texture and soul, she is pouring light into the world.
