The Ask Me About series is our way of educating the community on WOC who have changed the course of history (or should we say, HERstory) and made major impacts on their communities. Not only are our shirts designed to promote conversation, they are designed to change the way we talk about culture creation and social change.
Each shirt is:
- 100% ringspun cotton
- Unisex
- Preshrunk
- An original design from The Spice Rack's own, Eleni Pacheco
About Maxine Waters:
Auntie Maxine Waters has a career that spans decades. She was voted into the House of Representatives in 1990 and has served under five presidents. Currently, Momma Maxine is the US Representative for California's 43rd congressional district and one of the 45th POTUS's biggest critics! Some of Water's main priorities include improving race relations, voting rights, employment, and nationwide access to healthcare.
Auntie Waters was instrumental in developing the nation's first child abuse prevention law program for each state and prohibiting police strip searches for nonviolent misdemeanors. She backed the Minority AIDS Initiative in 1998, which allocates money for AIDS research among people of color in the U.S. In June 2005, she led the “Out of Iraq” Congressional Caucus which investigated the war and devised strategies for removing U.S. troops from Iraq. In her time as a representative, Waters has also repeatedly endorsed debt-relief legislation for African and Latin American nations that owe substantial sums to the World Bank.
The Honorable Congresswoman Maxine Waters is considered by many to be one of the most powerful women in politics today. Her work has earned her the reputation of being an outspoken advocate for women, children, people of color, and low-income populations. She is a true Leader of the People!
