Printed on a Heavyweight Cotton Unisex T-Shirt: 6 oz/yd², 100% US cotton, relaxed fit. Color: Black. Sizes S–3XL.
Produced by paid interns in the SYIP program at the YEI studio in Ward 7. Every purchase supports paid creative workforce training, apparel production experience, and entrepreneurship education for DC youth through Youth Entrepreneur Institute.
