We decided to get a little more philosophical with this t-shirt. The slogan on my t-shirt reads "You can't speak out without understanding." This makes a subtle reference to Plato's Republic and the concept of fully reaching understanding before educating the rest of the population who is unable to fully understand but can still gain knowledge passed from those who understand.

visible people's T-shirts are ready

Today we got together at Meredith’s chapter room and made our own T-shirts. One by one, each white T-shirt was gracefully spray painted in gold by Myriam and we put our heads together to think of messages to write on our T-shirts. What kind of words would challenge the commodification of personal stories for the sake of advocacy? Each member in our group will be blogging about each T-shirt so please keep visiting our blog!

The message on my T-shirt is: “Am I a-wear-ivist?”
