Designing a Life Worth Living

"Like a Girl" is a compliment

Because when you can live fully in the belief that when you have enough and you are enough, that’s when the real fun begins.

- Liz Bohannon

I never really thought of myself as a part of the women’s liberation movement or an activist. In fact, my mom always proudly stated that she would much rather have help changing her tire than do it herself, but common respect and consideration I do actively wish for all humans.

My daughter was just starting to get into lifting weights at college when she was approached by a fellow classmate who said “You lift like a girl …” to which she replied “Dude, I AM a girl!” She was really offended and whatever chance this guy had of flirting or getting a date went right out the window and she experienced her very first “girl pride” moment.

So this fall, I’m sending her back to school with her very own “Like a Girl” tee shirt, made by our beautiful artisans in Uganda. This super high quality tee will promote the pride she has in her sex and in herself. Women are gifted and strong and confident and beautiful. Whoever said anything was wrong with being a woman is a really idiot.

One of the first questions any Sseko Designs Sister asks when opening a Trunk Show is which of these quotes means the most to each guest. “Like a Girl” is our most common response.

On August 1st, Sseko Designs is taking this saying to the streets! This is your opportunity to take your girl-power to the streets daily! $40 for the tee shirt in size 1 or 2. Also available in a shopper tote for $20.

I’d love to see all our young ladies sporting this tee - and what better way than to show them how!

GIVEAWAY: for every sale that includes 2 tee shirts, or a tee shirt and a shopper tote, I will give you one of our not yet released yet beautiful red leather coin purse. Yours for FREE when you show your pride “Like a Girl”.
