Shout out to my friend Daniel, who pulled me out of my pandemic-work-wormhole to personalize a jacket for his photoshoot.
Looking back on the launch of Activ-ist Wear- which was really just a way for me to cope with the hate pouring out of this country, and give back in some small way- has proven to be quite healing.
Although the fight seems endless, my mom said something to me the other day that I thought was worth holding on to “If you have aggravation in your life, it means that your life is full. When life is predictable and accurately planned, it means you’re boring!” ….Today I choose to live my life full.

Active-ist Wear is an ongoing commission-based collection of up-cycled clothing created to combat hate. Each design is rooted by intention, and consciously constructed to promote positive and progressive ideas, with all proceeds donated to charity.
The proceeds from this jacket were donated to: NAACP Legal Defense Fund and The Okra Project.
