Deep breaths. Meet the shirt that inspired this collection.

I’m sure you mean well. But if you haven’t gone through breast cancer, please ask how you can support instead of guessing.

“It could be worse.”
“At least there is a lot of research.”
“At least you got the good cancer.”
“Are you going to freeze your eggs?”
“But you’re so young!”
“Everything happens for a reason…”

Are you kidding? Please STFU. Seriously.

You don’t have to understand what we’re going through to be supportive. Sometimes, “I’m here. What do you need?” is enough.

I wondered if this shirt would be too aggressive. Then someone told me, “This gave me a sigh of relief reading it.”

Yep. I get it.

The “Unsolicited” tee is available in black and white on Etsy. Link in bio.

$3 from every purchase in October will be donated to @youngsurvivalcoalition
