The USV hoodie can be purchased here www.universityofsenecavillage.com/intro/univer.... Wearing it means carrying a piece of history & supporting a vision of reimagined Black futures. Get yours & help push this project forward and support my work.

USV is growing. The next phase expands the project through print, workshops & more. To make it happen, I’m releasing hoodies—both a statement & a way to fund the yearbook phase of the project.
