"My simple good is embracing my melanin because it's really hard be a dark skinned woman in society nowadays. My simple good was inspired by seeing women on social media trying to change themselves. I depicted my simple good in my artwork by drawing beautiful black queens who know that their melanin is popping no matter what shape or size they are. I plan on using my meaning of the simple good to improve my community and change the world by bringing women together. So many women bring each other down on social media. We need to start empowering and appreciating each other."

This "Paz en la Villita" Tee is inspired by TSG Youth Ambassador, Brisa A. from Little Village. Check out her meaning of #thesimplegood below!

My 'simple good' is Paz en La Villita because we need peace in La Villita because there is a lot of danger. My 'simple good' was inspired by the shootings in La Villita which can cause a lot of disaster with the families who just lost a member. I showed my simple good in my artwork by describing how people want peace instead of violence. I plan on using my meaning of the 'simple good' to improve my community and change the world by having more peace in La Villita and stopping violence. This is important to me because gun violence is a daily tragedy affecting the lives of individuals around the world. More than 500 people die every day because of violence committed with firearms. A simple good question I would ask others is: Is there a cure for violence?

"My 'simple good' is saving the earth because I know that many people don't throw away trash properly, and it ends up in the oceans. My 'simple good' was inspired by looking outside, and seeing lots of plastic bags flying around, or seeing bottled waters out on the sidewalk. I depicted my 'simple good' in my art by drawing my message using pencil and colored pencils. I plan on using my meaning of the 'simple good' to improve my community and change the world by showing people that we aren't properly throwing away our trash, and there isn't an "Earth B" for us. This is important to me because I want everyone to take care of our planet, not just your community. Again, we don't have an Earth B. Thank you!"

This TSG Tee is inspired by TSG Youth Ambassador, Joeal A., from Pilsen, Check out her meaning of #thesimplegood below!

"My 'simple good' is growth because I want to continue growing in different areas, but in a proper way. I don't want to rush the process because in doing so I won't end up with the results I'm seeking. My 'simple good' was inspired by the quote "He Who Would Climb a Ladder Must Begin at the Bottom." My 'simple good' is shown in my photo because when building a skyscraper you always start from the bottom to end with positive results. However, starting from the top is unrealistic and will have horrible results. Just like in real life, when you start something you have to take all the necessary steps to accomplish it. You can't just start from the top while skipping all the proper steps to reach there. This also showcases my journey in growing without rushing things. I plan on using my meaning of the 'simple good' to improve my community and change the world by using my growth as a person to inspire my community to do better as a whole, and to show them it's not impossible to achieve our goals. This is important to me because growing has always been a part of my life, and I hope to continue to grow as a person to help myself and those around me."

BLM Crewneck

$70

"My 'simple good' is BLM. I choose this simple good because this is happening a lot to repeating BLM and is not right because we need to respect people who are different colors. My 'simple good' was inspired to respect people with dark skin. I depicted my 'simple good' in my artwork by going like some people saying BLM. I plan on using my meaning of the 'simple good' to improve my community and change the world by showing people the BLM. This is important to me because I feel bad that people are not respecting Black people. THANK YOU! A simple good question I would ask others is: Why do they have to be rude to Black people?"

- JUAN V., LITTLE VILLAGE

Beauty In The Struggle

"My simple good is 'there's beauty in the struggle" because I want people to embrace the challenges they face. My simple good came from connections to people in Chicago who I see dealing with difficulties in their work and personal lives. I made a collage of people and quotes that relate to the beauty in the struggle. I plan on improving my community by helping people realize the good in seemingly bad neighborhoods and situations. This is important to me because many people fear obstacles, but if you find the beauty in them, you'll see them as opportunities for growth."

This "Equality" Tee is inspired by TSG Youth Ambassador, Deshawn F. from Roseland. Check out his meaning of #thesimplegood below!

My 'simple good' is equality because I believe that people should be treated fair and have equal opportunities no matter their race, age, or even sexual preference. My 'simple good' was inspired by the fact that treating others inappropriately/or discriminating against them based on their beliefs. I plan on using my meaning of the 'simple good' to improve my community and change the world by changing others ideals that have been drilled into them by others. I say drilled because one doesn't just decide to discriminate against another. Something has to lead up to that moment or someone has influenced them into that mindset. Your beliefs shouldn't override what they like to do and what makes them happy in life. A simple good question I would ask others is: What thing in the world do you believe should be changed/fixed?

My 'simple good' is creating and inspiring others because I like doing art. My 'simple good' was inspired by my friends and family and others that inspired me. I showed my 'simple good' in my artwork by showing art in a canvas is being creative and telling others to be inspired by others. I plan on using my meaning of the 'simple good' to improve my community and change the world by saying art is not just to inspire others to make something in the world that is changing the world. This is important to me because I love art and I want to be an artist when I grow up. A simple good question I would ask others is: What will you do to inspire others?

My simple good is inner peace. It is very important to take time to care for ourselves and nature can play a big role in our life to get peace. My 'simple good' was inspired by a rainy and gloomy day. I showed my simple good to show the refreshment a picture of nature can give you just by looking at it. This is important to me because when I am overwhelmed or stressed out I go out for a walk. I sometimes try to appreciate those quiet moments especially when my house tends to be very loud most of the time. I plan on using my meaning of the simple good to improve our community by reminding everyone that taking a break is not being lazy, it's self love. A simple good question I would ask others is: Where do you find your inner peace?
