Know what subtle message I get? Or, not so subtle? That these t-shirts are only for white girls. How unfortunate.

I’m the girl behind Sticker Sisters and this t-shirt. I wanted to respond to mrsjennahatfield’s comment. My customers are very diverse, and one of my goals is to make my website better reflect that diversity. Having Myisha (the girl in the photo) model the shirt was one step towards representing a more diverse group of girls and women on the site. When I was creating the shirt I wanted to make different versions with different skin tones. Unfortunately, I’m a really small operation and couldn’t afford to print more than one version. But I spent a lot of time working with my printer to mix a custom ink color that I thought was a middle ground that the widest range of people could relate to. It’s very important to me to encourage ALL girls to feel strong, smart, and proud of themselves. If anyone has any suggestions of how I might do that better, I’d love to hear them!
