Walmart T-shirt Message: "Score! Superman does it again!"
Target T-shirt Message: "Training to be Batman's Wife"
My shock over the t-shirts have related to the fact that the t-shirts are subliminal messages to our young girls that only boys can become leaders, that girls are only good as cheerleader sidekicks and that their life can only be fulfilled based on how well they support a male leader while not aspiring to lead.

Instead of adding fuel to the fire and contributing further to the negativity, I have decided to do something positive. Through our supplier, I have created a t-shirt that gives a counter-narrative about the potential of girls and their ability to lead!
We have partnered with "Girls Can't What?" to offer a t-shirt that we hope will encourage girls that they can do anything they set their minds to and aspiring to lead is not just a boy thing, it is a girl thing too!
We Believe Girls Are Superheroes!
100% of Net Proceeds from the sale of our counter-narrative t-shirts will be donated to Irma Rangel Young Women's Leadership School!
