Fearless expression of Black creativity was evident when Truth and Lucille described some of their everyday looks.
Flannel
When talking about her grey, red, and white flannel, Truth said, “I love flannels especially vintage flannels. And I feel like this flannel brings the whole outfit together. It can be multiple things, it can be an accent thing or even a dress. I feel like this outfit shows my style in more ways than one because it shows that I can be creative and it can be a bold statement piece.” -Truth
