I love a good statement tee. I have several.

A few that express my feminist leanings and others that just show off my personality. 

There’s something about statement tshirts that make me feel kind of empowered, like I’m wearing my thoughts on my chest and I want the world to acknowledge them. It makes me feel like a superhero and I absolutely love that feeling.

Here’s me in my “Feminist AF” t-shirt. I recently had a woman come up to me in Checkers and ask what the AF meant. When I said “As fuck”, she seemed to be a little offended, but it may have been a little lost in translation.

I have another shirt my colleagues got me for my birthday in 2017 which says “I’m a ray of fucking sunshine”. It’s perfect for when I’m feeling under the weather, or just want to confuse people. I don't have a picture, but here's one of a model.

Cute, right?

But now I want to spread my statement tshirt joy around and show you where you can get a few cool ones too. Here they are:
