Who’s “The Boss”? According to activism apparel brand Phenomenal Woman, we are—and like today’s birthday diva Diana Ross, we’re gonna win.
In honor of the now-75 years strong entertainer known as “The Boss,” Phenomenal Woman—the two-year-old label first made famous by their tees of the same name—has borrowed inspiration from one of Ross’ more casual but nonetheless iconic looks. The “I’m Gonna Win” tee ($35, also available as a cap on pre-order) is both a retro fashion statement and a rallying cry, as it accompanies a worthwhile initiative.
As released in a statement by the brand:
On Tuesday, March 26, Phenomenal Woman is rolling out a new campaign in celebration of Diana Ross’ 75th birthday called I’M GONNA WIN, a call to action for black women to show up as their authentic selves. ... The campaign honors Diana not only as a fierce entertainer, but also as a trailblazer who, with grace and glamour, took on a male-dominated industry and succeeded.
The message is simple and powerful for 2019 and beyond: Black women are going to win.
More inspiring? Proceeds from the “I’m Gonna Win” collection benefit Higher Heights, an organization built with the intent of harnessing and growing black women’s political power in America.
And what’s an iconic slogan without some actual icons attached?
In addition to Ross’ daughter Tracee Ellis Ross sporting the tee on social media, more well-known faces are expected to be rocking it in coming days, so expect to see this message making the rounds, on women both famous and simply fabulous. Because we’re gonna win!
