The special move comes on the occasion of National Black Business Month, celebrated every August in the United States to promote black-owned businesses across the nation. The World No. 57 spoke about the brand on LinkedIn, remarking that it has gone under the radar despite being one of the very best in the category. Stephens further revealed that she has known the owner, Trishelle Leacock, and her family for many years. This #BlackBusinessMonth, I wanted to shine a light on one of my favorite Black-owned businesses that might be under your radar, but shouldn't be! Kaiso Swim is a Caribbean beachwear brand founded by Trishelle Leacock. I've known the Leacock family since the junior tennis days."

"Trish ran track at the University of Miami and despite never studying design formally, she draws on her upbringing in Tobago to reflect bold prints and flattering cuts in her designs." Talking in detail about the amount of hard work Leacock has put into the brand, Sloane Stephens spoke highly of the latter's work ethics and values. "I've watched Trish build this brand on her own and know how much hard work goes into creating something from scratch. Trish is meticulous about every single detail of her brand and it shows in the end result." The 29-year-old concluded her post by listing out Leacock's biggest achievements and awards, adding that she intends to spend her vacation on a beach flaunting Kaiso Swim's beachwear soon. "Kaiso was recently named to EBONY Media's "13 Black-Owned Swim Brands for Having Fun Under the Sun" and Marie Claire's "The Best 40 Swimwear Brands for Summer 2022. I don't know about you, but I'm daydreaming of a beach vacation."
