Keep It Pushing (KIP) is an organization created out of love, resilience, and the belief that no one should walk through life's challenges alone. Founder, Ariana Flores, has not only experienced a profound life changing event but has witnessed so many others experience unimaginable life experiences.

This inspired a greater mission that was embedded in her history: helping others in the community by creating bags with personality that preserve what matters most. Through this vision, a love for the ocean and ladybugs that became a symbolic part of life, KIP was born - an organization dedicated to helping individuals, children, families and communities to keep it pushing forward. These bags will eliminate foster children carrying belongings from home to home with little sense of permanence in garbage bags. These bags support individuals who aren't ready to part with personal keepsakes or can transition from placement to placement as pillowcases. These bags are forever.

Through KIP, we hope to provide individuals with something that is not only practical but personal, a place to carry treasures, stashes and memories that are uniquely theirs. Each design is original, each detail intentional, and each bag a tangible reminder that love endures even in the hardest seasons.

At the heart of KIP is the logo, created with intention. The ladybug represents transformation and growth through life's experiences, resilience and finding light and beauty even during difficult times, while the flowing waves symbolize life's journey and the strength to keep pushing forward. Together they reflect the vision of carrying what matters most while continuing to navigate life with hope.
