*San Diego, CA  — African-American Designer, Owner and Creative Director of The Write Fit, LLC, Joshlyn Turner, launches The Write Fit Kids, “The World How We See It.”
The collection is stylish and fun with powerful statements like, “Be kind to me I am the future,” which speaks volumes to the abuse and ongoing injustice in the African-American community.
The Write Fit Kids promotes positive self-image and inspires kids to be whatever they want in the world. The Write Fit Kids is a collection with purpose and meaning from a child’s perspective with sizes ranging from Infant (6 months) to Youth (X-Large) and is available on The Write Fit website at www.shopthewritefit.com
The Write Fit, LLC is an ingenious online apparel company for men and women specializing in graphic T-shirts that relates the lives of individuals around the world and launched on June 28, 2013. The T-shirts are uniquely separated into eccentric themes like: Soundtrack to Life, It’s a Man’s World, Love Me Write, Got Pride and Sweat Box.
“I created The Write Fit as a platform for creative expression through fashion. I use various inspirations like: life, love, thoughts and everyday situations to create the statements. When people wear The Write Fit, I want them to feel like they are wearing life with a purpose,” said Joshlyn Turner. “I received so much positive feedback, especially from my African-American customers that I wanted to design items for the entire family to choose from; so I created The Write Fit Kids. The collection is extremely special to me because it highlights my sensitivity to the future of our children and what they will become in the world. I want kids to feel a sense of self-identity that is age appropriate, fun and fashionable.”
Joshlyn, who also holds the title of Youth Program Coordinator at a non-profit organization in San Diego, which offers a work readiness program for youth involved in the Juvenile Justice System, understands the struggles African-American children and youth are facing.
“I see the negative outlook they have on their future and the lack of motivation for education,” said Joshlyn Turner. According to the kidsdata.org website in 2013, 19.7 percent of African-American youth in California dropped out of high school. A report from the Office of the Attorney General in California asserted that a 10 percent increase in graduation would result in a 20 percent reduction in incarceration and assault rates.
Growing up in the urban streets of Southeast San Diego, Joshlyn witnessed those who dropped out of high school and fell victim to early pregnancy, drugs and incarceration. However, she refused to be a statistic. Joshlyn graduated from Hampton University and recently received her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Joshlyn and long time friend, and Spelman graduate, Roberta Moore created the TurnMoore Dreams Scholarship, given to students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher attending a Historically Black College or University. Joshlyn Turner stated, “I not only want to be a mentor, but a role model. I want our youth to see me actively working towards my goals and accomplishing them, so they’ll continue to work toward theirs.”
Local Barbershop Owner, Weldon E. Cook Jr. stated, “The Write Fit Kids collection is super different. I like the designs and the messages. Whenever my kids wear the clothing, people always ask where I got it, or that they love the messages too”.
The Write Fit Kids, “The World How We See It” is a collection that is fashion-forward and fun with meaningful messages from a child’s perspective. The apparel ranges in size from Infant (6 months) to Youth (X-Large) and is available on The Write Fit website at www.shopthewritefit.com.
