Women’s short sleeve t-shirt with the text Black Women Got Now and Next.

This collection is not just a statement, but a powerful assertion of our pride and empowerment as Black women. The statement itself depicts a strong and confident Black woman speaking through a megaphone, proudly proclaiming that “Black Women Got Now & Next”.

We must celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black women who have been leading the way for centuries. Our foremothers birthed mathematics over 40,000 years ago, led nations, and fought on the frontlines of the Haitian revolution, sacrificing themselves for the freedom of their people. They never backed down in the face of colonizers, racists, and segregationists, even when dogs were sicked on them. They rose up to start banks and run businesses like Maggie L. Walker, Annie Malone, and Cathy Hughes. They supported Black men and their families without hesitation, while managing homes, balancing budgets, and investing in the future of our community.

The phrase “Black Women Got Now & Next” is not just a reminder that we are making history, but that we are shaping the future. It is a call to action for Black women to continue to lead and make our voices heard in every aspect of society.

Our queens have always been amazing, whether they were in the background, foreground, or in leadership. Black women have been integral to the success of the Black community, and we are definitely a key piece to our future.

The “Black Women Got Now & Next” collection by Urban Intellectuals is a powerful statement of our pride and empowerment. Let us continue to celebrate our achievements and encourage each other to lead and make our mark on the world. We got now, and we got next!
