Lady Pants
Be Proud. Be Knowledgable.
Growing up in a predominately single parent household, living with my mother and aunt I noticed the many gallant strides and achievements black women create for themselves, their family, and their communities. To me they juxtaposed the stereotypical trope that “men wear the pants” because in my experiences, black women, including those commemorated on the pants, lead the charge in black leadership and positive change into American society . My first look at someone being responsible for a family, or an idea, were black women. They are “Lady Pants” because black women have always wore the pants for African American advancement, their communities and freedom.
