This is a collaboration with Sleight the Poet.
Throughout my life I’ve learned that our smiles are shaped by all of our life experiences — the good, the bad, and everything in between. Sometimes it can be scary to embrace our smile and truly let people see us. But when we do it actually brings us closer. 
The front of this shirt has a smilie face to represent your smile and everything it carries. On the back, is a snippet of my poem “Behind My Smile” from my book “Behind the Smile” to represent what we may carry behind our smiles. Which I believe, is a step to people seeing and knowing the real us.  
There’s two versions of the shirt: The heavyweight tee is garment dyed and has a slight oversized fit. The other tee is a more snug, fitted shirt.
