If All You Want This Christmas is Justice for Black Lives My Black Clothing Has a Sweater Just For You Posted on November 25, 2020December 28, 2020 By Dangerous Lee The Message Behind the Sweater The “ugly” but uplifting and in your face Christmas sweater is inspired by the tragic events that occurred in 2020 with the killing of unarmed African Americans. The sweater represents the continued fight for justice for the lives lost and a reminder that our fight for justice is not over. To show support for those who are wrongfully persecuted, My Black Clothing is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Christmas sweater to the Innocence Project. The Innocence Project helps exonerate those wrongfully convicted and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. My Black Clothing has supported them proudly in 2020 and they want to continue to do so. My Black Clothing is Black Owned My Black Clothing is a Black-owned clothing apparel company whose main goal is to empower Black people through empowering phrases! A unique part of their shirts is the tribal pattern in the word “Black”. This is symbolic of the different cultures, traditions, talents, and features, that contribute to making African Americans an important part of society. A Chat with the Founder Kwame Adjei – Founder of My Black Clothing BGA: Why did you create My Black Clothing? Kwame: I created My Black Clothing as an initiative to empower Black men and women with bold statements, and also give back to the community through donations. A big part of creating this brand is ensuring that the world recognizes Black men and women as equally capable in every aspect of life as everyone else. This is why most of our shirts have the phrase “Black” followed by an empowering message. For example, Black Fathers Matter and Black and Educated.BGA: What makes you different from other clothing companies that cater to Black causes/people?
