“For some people, styling is just, ‘Do I like this red top?’ That’s okay for you, but it’s not enough for me. I’ve always seen imagery as political. The images we create and participate in influence how we feel about ourselves and other people. That is political power. Know how you present, know your history. Know how they have socialized images of us, know how we can reject those images. Know how to educate yourself, how to rebel, how to assume identity through clothing. Know that it’s more than just the red top.” – @solangefranklin⠀
