Race: Women of color are more vulnerable than men because they are viewed as the bottom of the system because they are both a woman and a minority. Women are human just like men no matter their ethnicity or skin tone and deserve the same respect.

Gender: Biologically the traits that pertain to mostly males are viewed as “superior” compared to those females have. It all depends on the situation just because a person isn’t physically strong, it doesn’t make them any less.

One way that race and gender have combined to effect us both females and males, is to restrict and or categorize us into what society thinks we are or want us to be.

A sneak peak of my turtle neck for the black panther party collection. Modifications are on their way.

This dress I created, represents the equality between all ethnicities. Hence one side red the other side navy blue.

The Black Panther Party was about identity, and this dress is who  I am.
