Project Ten Seven: Wearing Awareness —

About

Project Ten Seven is an idea stemming from a yearning to give back to a community for my birthday/the holidays.

This year, our focus was spreading light and love for the Asian community and by showcasing the diversity of Asian culture through food and artistic expressions on beautiful graphic tees.

Racism is a virus of its own that has always existed. And with the increase of anti-Asian hate crimes in the last year, the project “Wearing Awareness” is made to combat hate with the celebration of our differences.

These tees can also open doors to conversations with others about your background which, as simple as it sounds, already brings positivity to the Asian community.

Proceeds will go towards #StopAsianHate’s GoFundMe which will benefit numerous Asian-led organizations.

Support and funds generously provided by The Kickback @kickbackconnect.

Artwork collaboration between Therese Reyes @mctreyes, Kaycee Diaz @kcdiaz_, and Cheryl Tong @cheryl.tong.
