🖤 Bold. Rooted. Unapologetic. ✊🏾✨

“I Don’t Owe Softness to Systems That Brutalized Us” isn’t just a phrase.
It’s a declaration.

This design speaks to generational strength, cultural awareness, and the reality that resilience was never optional. It honors survival without glamorizing the struggle—and it reminds the world that boundaries are not bitterness.

Whether you wear it on a statement tee, layer it on a cozy crewneck, carry it on your tumbler, or grab the digital design to create your own pieces, this drop is for women who understand history and move with intention.

Made for Black women, Afro-Latina women, and allies who know that power doesn’t have to perform politeness.

This is Black History Month energy.
But it’s also year-round truth.
