Thanks for this! These are awesome finds. I recently also stumbled upon My Black Clothing (www.myblackclothing.com) – a black owned clothing brand. They sell empowering shirts and sweaters targeted to African American men and women. What makes them unique is that they actually give back to the very causes they are fightling for. For example, this holiday they have this awesome Black Lives Matter Christmas Sweater which they plan on donating proceeds to the Innocence Project. You should check them out!
