Makena: See Me, Hear Me, Know Me
Washington D.C. – 2021Fashion Speaks
The next day, Makena chooses to wear a sweatshirt with the word JUSTICE. It ends up getting over 200 likes on Instagram. In response, Auntie Bling texts Makena about Carlotta Walls and the clothes she wore in Little Rock, Arkansas. This shows Makena that part of fashion is activism… connecting people’s stories and communities, and sending a message.
Later, Makena, Maritza, and Evette realize that they don’t need to wait to make a difference… they can start now! They decide to start a new website: World by Us.
