When I first started doing Melanic Tees, I would do a search for Melanic or Melanistic and Animals with Melanism would always come up. Never People, never black people, never brown or "his panic/latino", never people of color who have Melanin. I don't know why this is. You would think the people would come up who have Melanin, don't you think? If animals come up there is no reason people wouldn't come up. Everyone needs to know about Melanin, what is Melanin, why melanin is important, who has it, who doesn't it, what does it do, is it good for you, is it bad if you have too much or not enough.
Hopefully when you do a search a few years from now for MELANIN, I hope you find what Melanin is on MelanicTees!

More on Melanin..
Melanin is what contributes to the variations of skin tones. Whether red, "yellow", brown and black - all these shades of brown are attributes of Melanin. In the summer, you get natural shades of brown, skin sun kissed because during the summer the Sun is at it's highest peak giving all the Sun people that Xtra love. Similar to a Bear when it eats, Black and Melanical People can almost hibernate for 6 months without any (if worse came to this imagining) Sun aka source of Energy.
Melanin stores energy in the largest organ in your body, the Skin. Melanin protects your skin from dangerous toxins that can suppress your immune system.
You have whites and non whites, people of color because of it's source of light=energy=hue matter.
Even though, people of color are categorized by Nationalities and diluted racial separation we maybe shouldn't continue this practice, of racial classifications. In fact, you shouldn't from this day forward classify yourself with nothing else but what is your Maker, Melanin. Instead be classified and identified with your Scientifically term, Melanin [People]. Melanin lives amongst all people of color, and dark Caucasians - Italians, Greeks, The Portuguese, the Spanish, etc - despite regions and country distances. Melanin is what is the root of all the branches in the family tree of life. It's cos of Melanin you live.

One on 1 w. Melanic Tees Creator, Annae PR
Born & raised in South Central LA, 80's baby Annae at the age of 30
decided to create a platform that mission would be to empower Melanic
people about their self awareness of who they are & the magnificence
behind Melanin (which gives pigment to all natural things on planet
earth).
Annae at an early age, 11 she recalls, became inquisitive about the awareness of who she was & the lack of self knowledge that others had about themselves. The more she went on a quest to find herself, the more distant she found herself getting away from what we call "Modern Fashion".
"I try to self express with how I dress, the jewelry I wear and how I wear my hair. In essence, I feel this is my only expression of cultural identifying with who I really am. I am culturally different, my culture dresses different. I thought what I was wearing was assimilated enough. I wanted people to READ how I felt, certain expressions I wanted to not say verbally but expressively & I thought what other better way to self express than on a cute Tee that is designed accordingly to my liking.
Melanic Tees, Melanic Products & Melanic Me, Indie & body ornaments are my babies! Watch em' grow w. me on this journey! Para hoy y siempre (For today & always)!"
Los Angeles, CALI Native Annae Padilla aka Api creator of Melanic Tees Coolection will be debuting her New Tees for her Coolection of Cool, Feminine Tees featuring fluency, tribal designs and Indigenous patterns. Api says she was inspired to do a Tee line specifically for Women&girls of color because she feel there is a definite absence of Models Keen to Native, Indigenous Melaninated People. She goes on to say,"I am very conscious of the Fashion World that uses "tribal or native" designs for seasonal or recreational use. However, I think it's been forgotten that we are actual cultures that still exist now, today and always and I'm not really appreciating our prototype being used for seasonal fashion statements when in reality it is OUR cultural attire that we should have been exhibiting year round anyhow".
The First Tee used for Melanic Tees was the Curak (Cool Rock) Tee that simply offers the Creation Name - Melanic Tees Coolection. It is Melanic Tees stamp of recognition; simple, elegant and in font that eyes are drawn to. The Second Tee for Melanic Tees features a Native Female with Native Headdress and garment, featuring the Serpent, The Powerful Spiritual Metaphor. "This Tee is very sentimental to me while the creation of the design was unfolding. I wanted to make sure that people knew women&girls that look like me surpass just being "striking". We are Indigenous, keen to the Native people before any Colonizers Colonized us. It reads with assurance, "Here I am, Didn't Vanish".
The Newest Addition to Melanic Tees is the "Concrete Mela Jungle" Tee. "This Tee illustrates the Concrete Jungle that we, Melanic people have adapted to. The representation of the concrete pattern is the cities in which we live in with these colonized modern buildings that offer us unpleasant living conditions removing all our natural resources like the green of the grass, trees and overall land. On top of the design sets 5 Melanin Inspired words: Melanin, Melanic, Melanical, Melanintued and Melanistic. More to come; so, stay Melanintued". ....
