Given the current situation and recent events in terms of police brutality and victimisation of the black community (which is obviously not recent and has been occurring for years) I felt it was time for me to do something, I know this project isn't exactly going to help anybody's situation but I wanted to make something meaningful to me and those like me based on something that is REAL and important. There are more important things in life than what I wore yesterday or where I went last week so I'm using this tinyyyy platform to express my views and share my creative frustration.
So I customised 3 hats and distressed them which included sewing on statements I felt fitted the message I wanted to emphasise.
1."AM I NEXT"
2."BLACKOUT"
3."IT AINT SAFE"












It's so important for us as black people, boys or girls to embrace our blackness more than ever, and that's what I plan to do. Hopefully this inspires you or makes you think, that's all I want. 

BLACK LIVES MATTER.
