I started learning how to cook last year, after 30+ years of eating takeout and/or others cooking for me (Shout out to my incredible mother Andrea, and Taco Bell). So, I took some photos of the food I cooked. A guy I know had a clothes printer, so we started putting these photos on really comfortable hoodies purely because I wanted to wear them. Then when I did, people were like “I like that hoodie!” or “Cool hoodie.” or “Where’d you get that hoodie?”

I started this brand to accommodate those people, and maybe more people, and to hopefully spread some joy. Maybe seeing the words “Appreciate you.” on the back of your shirt will make the stranger walking behind you smile for even one second. To me, that’s a win. I decided to allow customers to choose the charity/cause that their 10% of proceeds go to because I don't know what's best. If there's one thing I do know, it is that.
