SOL Classic Hoodie (Our Country Too Edition)
Designed by visual and performing artist, Brianna Pippens, this Sista Of Liberty is not wearing a traditional gown like our other Sistas. Instead, she is sporting a t-shirt, with a Black Power fist, and ripped jeans, as she carries the torch, lights the way, and leads the fight for racial and gender equality. Her clothing also features a kente cloth trim to pay homage to her African ancestry, and the bottom of her jeans have an African-mask-inspired “faces and raised fists” design that is a staple of Brianna’s work and symbolizes the connection to her ancestors.
This Sista also is rocking braids with cowrie shells. Cowrie shells have served various purposes in many West African cultures, such as for currency and jewelry. An ankh necklace, the ancient Egyptian symbol for life, hangs around her neck. Lastly, inscribed on the tablet she holds is “Our Country Too,” a phrase that we coined to celebrate the significant contribution people of color have made to building this country—both before and since its inception. We will continue to raise our voices—and our fists—until there is “Liberty and Justice for All” because this is Our Country Too.
Everyone needs a cozy go-to hoodie to curl up in, so go for one that's soft, smooth, and stylish. It's the perfect choice for cooler evenings!
