'The world is so not ready, but we’re fucking coming!' On sale today, 100% of the proceeds from Aya Brown x MadeMe collaboration goes to the MPJInstitute 👏🏾✨
. The collection features three of Aya’s original designs of unapologetically visible black queer women printed on hoodies, tees, and underwear. As Aya said: “The world is so not ready, but we’re fucking coming!”
Aya’s been drawing ever since she was a kid. She draws black avatars of herself including girls she knows and girls she’s attracted to, solely on brown paper. Because, why start on a white canvas when the people you’re drawing are women of color? Aya’s drawings are fun, sexy, and incredibly intimate, all at the same time. “As a kid, I used to draw in my school books more than I would ever write or do any work. I would look at comic books and since I’m half Japanese, a lot of anime,” Aya told.
From a young age, Aya was drawn to streetwear, opting for graphic t-shirts that were vulgar. “I think putting [these images] on a shirt is a way to make people aware of queer black women and what we look like in life through the gaze of Aya and not the typical white male gaze,” she said.
