Positive fashion message for urban inner city kids...have you seen these yet?
In case my URL link won't work, that's a "Never Sold Dope" Hoodie. They sell the t-shirts, too.
I was watching Ghost Brothers on tv a couple of days ago, and one of the ghost brothers was wearing this T Shirt. I looked it up, and I was pretty impressed! Here's a direct quote from the creator of the shirts and hoodies:
"I’ve noticed over the last few years that Urban American culture has been growing more and more out of balance and only the most negative aspects of it are being celebrated and promoted in the mainstream to the youth. With that in mind, I know that there many people just like me that are products of the hood (grew up in Harlem) made it out, went to college and became successful without resorting to ever selling drugs. I honestly think that our babies need to see this message being promoted by people they consider cool and successful so that they don’t always have to rely on looking at dope boys “Only” as their ideal of success. I’d like to add, the message of “Never Sold Dope” is in no way is a judgement on anyone that has or does sell drugs because each persons circumstances and motivations are different but these Kids need and deserve more positive images from the adults and entertainers they look up to."
Congrats go out to The Maven Brand.com, for thinking about the kids in America who need someone to look up to.
Can we please do MORE of this kind of thing?
