I am one of the 600,000.

Not a spokesperson. Not an observer. A Black woman who has spent 26 years building real things inside systems that were never designed to hold us — and watching them shift the moment my work was finished. I know that cycle intimately. I’ve lived it more times than I care to count. You pour everything you have into something, you deliver, and then the door closes anyway.

That is not a personal story. That is a systemic one. And it belongs to all 600,000 of us.

So I did what I do. I got still. I poured a cup of tea and I started asking better questions. Not “why did this happen” — because we already know the answer to that. But “what do we do now?” and “who do we do it with?” and “how do we make sure the next sister doesn’t have to figure this out alone?”

That’s when SERVING TEA took shape.

Three shirts. Three parts of one story. Our story. The truth of what happened. The power of what we are building in response. And an open invitation to every sister still finding her footing — there is a seat at this table with your name on it.

We are not finished. We are building. This table is still going up and there is work left to do.

I won’t pretend every conversation we’re about to have is going to be easy. There may be tears at this table. Real ones. The kind rooted in anger, frustration, and real harm that too many of us were told to swallow and move past. And the kind that flow when you finally feel seen and heard after a long season of being overlooked.

But there will also be joy. So much joy. The kind that shows up when women who have been carrying things alone realize they don’t have to anymore. The kind that lives in recognition and laughter and “girl, me too” and building something together that nobody can take from us.

That joy is just as real. And we are making room for all of it.

Wear your truth. Own your power. Pull up a chair.

The tea is hot and the table is ready for you.

Truth → Power → Rising

SERVING TEA.

The collection. The campaign. The community.

These are not just shirts. They are a three-part declaration — of truth, of power, and of what we are building together.

600KSTRONG is for every Black woman who lost her seat at a table she helped build. It is proof that we did not stop. We gathered. We built. And we are still here, pulling up chairs.

Start with your truth. Wear your power. Extend the invitation.
