I Raised a Woke Boss Bitch

This one’s for the origin story.

For the parents, the uncles, the mentors, the bonus parents, the loud supporters in the bleachers and the quiet protectors in the background.

For the ones who refused to raise small girls.
For the ones who modeled boundaries instead of obedience.
For the men who showed us what respect looks like.
For the women who showed us how to demand it.

“I raised a woke boss bitch.”

Not an apology.
Not a joke.
A receipt.

Soft from the first wear and relaxed enough to live in, this piece was made for the people who did the work long before we had the language for it.

You didn’t create something polite. You helped create something powerful.

Wear it with pride.
Wear it at graduations.
Wear it when someone says, “She’s a lot.”

Yes. She is.

And you had something to do with that.
