September's BXB Club design is ready! Both “Unified” & “Episodes” feature a bright and much-needed, joy-inspiring colorway of Yellow Gold. This month, “Episodes” & “Unified” are respectively titled “Shape of Black Love” & “Shape of Love”. While both ideas are simple and small, they're big calls to put more "love" into the world. When these designs are seen, they force the viewer to say "love" to themselves. This is often the brilliance of visual language. And I’m here for it. .

A little #fbf - November's BXB Club design was fresh! Both “Unified” & “Episodes” will feature a randomised colorway with a gold foil print. Unified = "Group Project" I've been on a "We" vibe a lot lately, so naturally this month’s “Unified” design is on the same energy. We are all trying to get to LIBERATION, but if we're not going at it together our quest is in vain. "Liberation Is A Group Project"--and that is non-negotiable. . Episodes = “All Power” November’s “Episodes” is in the same key as the rallying cry of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. . This tweak reinforces the togetherness in "All Power To The People" ensuring the goal, our liberation, is inclusive. Again, I am more interested in the "we" lately. And, we should never lose sight of US. .

There is still a couple of more days on this one being available! . October's BXB Club design is ready! Both “Unified” & “Episodes” feature a Heather Military Green colorway . . This month’s “Unified” design is an exclusive variation of my BLM Monogram graphic. At this point, we are all well versed in the meaning of Black Lives Matter. We are not in the streets as much these days but this is a reminder that we are still fighting out here. . This month’s “Episodes” is a cousin of the BLM Monogram, as it was originally designed and paired together. But it felt like 2 different fruits from the same tree so I plucked it. This design is about the dignity of the fight for our lives to be treated with humanity. . A portion of this garment's sale will be donated to Black Lives Matter & Color Of Change. .

July’s BXB Club is here! . This month’s design theme is “Equality”. It’s a simple concept to grasp but it's evasive from our collective grip. The designs feature a Crimson Red flock print on a “Fresh Start White” colorway. . This month, “Unified” is called “Sound It Out”. It’s having a little fun with the word by utilizing a technique typically employed to increase reading and comprehension. It also serves as a way to punctuate what is being said. Say it slowly and phonetically. . This month, “Episodes” expounds on what “Equality” means to us. Titled “Make It Plain”, it speaks to what we've been asking for, daily. We want the same. Not more. Not less. Same. Why is that so hard to understand? . Join the BXB Club now at www.blackonblackbk.com . Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it. -Frances Wright . #unified #episodes #july2021 #2021 #bxb #bxbclub #subscription #blackonblackbk #sounditout #makeitplain # #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #itslifeordeathforus #intersectionality #civilrights #humanrights #equality #equalityforall no #racism, no #xenophobia #alliesandchampions #notagame #resistance (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtWvOvlKus/?utm_medium=tumblr

This month’s T follows the news of the past few weeks with the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, that ended with his conviction on all three counts. This is not about the counts. This is about Derek Chauvin, a police officer during the commission of this crime, being held accountable for killing an unarmed black man. . The colorway for both collections will be Heather Prism Blue featuring a black flock imprint. . This month, “Unified” is exactly about that. “ACCOUNTABILITY”. It’s very hard to celebrate this conviction because this is what was SUPPOSED to happen. Like Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell said, “Use your common sense. Believe your eyes. What you saw, you saw.” . This month, “Episodes” is expounding on this concept. The design reads “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!”. But this is not just about Chauvin being convicted on all 3 counts– there is an added dimension of past, present and future inside this concept. One conviction doesn’t fix the problems that plague this nation as a whole - and plague Black people & POC specifically. “The whole damn system is guilty as hell!” comes to mind. That’s the past. Right now, we have a picture of what it looks like when our justice system behaves the way it says it does. We see what it looks like when it performs the way it’s supposed to. The present: “One time does not a pattern make” - or something like that. Moving forward, we want to continue to hold these systems accountable. We want seismic change. We want the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We want the fruits of our labor. The future. . #unified #episodes #may2021 #2021 #bxb #bxbclub #subscription #blackonblackbk #accountability #rip #georgefloyd #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #itslifeordeathforus #intersectionality #civilrights #humanrights #equality #equalityforall #alliesandchampions https://www.instagram.com/p/COMO10RFHv2/?igshid=cwsvflupgipn

I got this email a little while back while helping a customer with an issue they were having on my site and I digs it... . "Thanks a ton! Here’s a screenshot of my order. I really appreciate your help. I also super appreciate your monthly program. I live in Nebraska, and your messages are extremely impactful as conversation starters to give the opportunity to continually push people to acknowledge and think about their beliefs and how our local government is systemically racist. Thanks again, Danni" . #whyIdowhatIdo #bxb #bxbclub #subscription #blackonblackbk #blacklivesmatter #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #itslifeordeathforus #intersectionality #civilrights #humanrights #equality #equalityforall no #racism, no #xenophobia #alliesandchampions #notagame #resistance (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNGOJTEBkcW/?igshid=1fera75p6e8jm

This month’s BXB Club is here! . This month’s design comes in 2 versions. Version 1 is a horizontal layout for “Unified” and Version 2 is vertical for “Episodes” - perfect for under button downs and jackets. . BLM = “Black Lives Matter.” FTP = “Fight The Power” or “For The People” or “Feel The Pressure” or even “Fix The Problems” - And I’m sure I just made that one up. . BXB = Black On Black. . “BLM.FTP.BXB.” . “Unified” and “Episodes” this month will both feature a Super Black colorway and feature a premium feeling white flock print. .

Dec’s BXB Club is here! Symbols have power. I’ve always known this, but it hit a little different when I was in school for Visual Communications in Atlanta. I realized the “power” I had as a creator when designing logos and concepting ad campaigns. The ability to shape culture and behavior felt a little more important than merely selling products. What came directly out of that was me as an artist (www.rodney-white.com). I aimed to use the power/talent I was vested with, to do something meaningful. This month’s theme is another link in that chain. . The Stack: We often move through the world relying on what we know for survival—our own experiences. Simply surviving transcends to thriving when change and innovation enter; a metamorphosis built on what those before us have fought for, accomplished and experienced, along with our present contributions. Those generations are the layers (stripes) that build The Stack. . At the crux of every revolution, something phenomenal happens. A spark. An inspiration. Brilliance. The manifestation of hope. The audacious attempt. That is the star that sits at the front of the top of The Stack. It is the common goal that we’re co-building with our individual experiences. We’re stacking to change the now and generations to come (that top stripe). In the end, creating something like a flag representing this goal. The enclosure represents the world. A flag planted. We are here. We are still here. Our goal in this world. . This is a pattern symbolizing the step and repeat cycle of justice and equity we seek. . Justice, truth, love, equity, liberation, dignity, life, prosperity, community and forward movement - these are the very ideas built into the design of The Stack. The BXB Pattern is designed as a graphic articulation of the proliferation of these ideals. . “Unified” and “Episodes” this month will feature randomised colorways decorated with this pattern. No words but plenty of meaning... #unified #episodes #december2020 #2020 #bxbclub #subscription #blackonblackbk #blacklivesmatter #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CILnBR9F2g1/?igshid=w474nbvgyjel

I. Love. this summary and support! . @cristela9 - “NEW FAVORITE SHIRT! This Vote/Protest shirt is from a Black-owned business @blackonblackbk! I’ve been buying their stuff for years and am subscribed to their monthly subscription. They have two options. The Episodes is the subscription for the Black Experience and the Unified is for Intersectional support. I love this shirt. Support small POC-owned businesses! They have awesome stuff!” . The “Votest” design is inspired by an IG I posted on June 13, 2020. The caption was a poem that read: . Protest. Vote. Protest THEN vote. Protest AS votes. Voting IS protest. Protest but vote. Because votes protest. Votest. . Sometimes I design a post and immediately say “Hmm, that could be shirt.” This was one. .

October’s BXB Club design is ready! And tonite is the last night to change your size preferences if you want to gift this shirt in a different size. . This month's colorways are Steel Blue for “Unified” and Midnight Navy for “Episodes”. . Blues are often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth. These are integral qualities and characteristics that we must embody as a country to heal. And we have some work ahead of us to achieve this collectively. . Then “Votest” design is inspired by an IG I posted on June 13, 2020. The caption was a poem that read: . Protest. Vote. Protest THEN vote. Protest AS votes. Voting IS protest. Protest but vote. Because votes protest. Votest. . Sometimes I design a post and immediately say “Hmm, that could be shirt.” This was one. October couldn’t come fast enough. Not for the shirt release but for early voting. Check out the schedule for your state here. https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/ . VOTE. BY. ANY. MEANS.

September’s BXB Club design is ready! (Change your size preferences before 9/1/2020 if you want to gift your delivery!) This month's colorway for “Unified” & “Episodes” is maroon. This color is a dynamic symbol for confidence, strength, courage, determined ambition, and leadership. All traits embodied by both “Agitator” and “Energy I Be On”. . For “Unified”, the design is an exclusive colorway of “Agitator” from Allies & Champions. The original inspiration for the design was a by writer/author and anti-racist educator Rachel Cargle (@rachel.cargle) on an IG post. She posted a question from a white student and in which she responded “I believe the best thing we can do to enact change is to agitate the system.” I immediately saw it visually and went right away to design it. . For “Episodes”, “Energy I Be On” [Black Powered] was chosen because it perfectly complements the symbolism of the color maroon. In addition to its aforementioned meanings, creativity, beauty and love are also associations. And, when used in Kente fabrics, it also represents Mother Earth and healing. . One last thing. VOTE. BY. ANY. MEANS. NECESSARY. .

August's BXB Club design is ready! Both “Unified” & “Episodes” are inspired by the freedom fighting giant, John Lewis. His recent passing left an enormous void in the resistance he helped create the blueprint for. We are forever indebted to him for the changemaking strategies we still use today. While neither of this month’s expressions are directly connected to a quote of his, the spirit of both are laced with his fighter’s energy. . For “Unified”, the design is an exclusive colorway of “None Of Us” from Allies & Champions 1. John Lewis was a pivotal Civil Rights Freedom Fighter who extended the battlefield for human rights and racial reconciliation to the halls of Congress as an elected official. Congressman Lewis carried “what’s right” in one hand and “what’s fair” in the other. He earned the name "Conscience of Congress”. . For “Episodes”, “Our Freedom Can’t Wait!” is inspired by the iconic photo of Malcolm X holding up a copy of 'Muhammad Speaks' with the headline of the same. John Lewis fought with urgency. He paved roads for future generations with his sacrifices, but he demanded freedom and liberation for RIGHT NOW. “Our Freedom Can’t Wait!” carries that same sense of immediacy. We've waited long enough. No more “Now is not the time…” . We continue in this resistance with John Lewises on both shoulders-- “what’s right” sits on one and “what’s fair” on the other.

We are tired of seeing our people locked up in jails over and over again. And then you holler, 'Be patient.' How long can we be patient?” ― John Lewis (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDb8WD4JmaD/?igshid=13bvihklwwqlx
