Back in Style

Makena, her sister Amari, and her mom and Auntie Bling are busy shopping for clothes for the start of school. Both Makena and Amari are excited to be picking out new clothes, since they hadn’t gotten new clothes since the start of the pandemic. Although Makena has been working to constantly put new outfits together to post Instagram each morning, what she calls her OOTD.

As Makena and Amari head to check out, they notice two White girls who try to budge ahead of them. When Amari confronts them, they act like they didn’t even realize the concept of a line, and it takes further encouragement from others in line to convince them to step to the back.
