ADE: Thank you
for coming to
interview with MADE Magazine.
We definitely appreciate you guys!
Meagan: Thank you for having us!
MADE: You recently rolled out a clothing
line called “Defend Good Girl”. Tell us
why you chose flannel wear and what it
symbolizes for you all?
Meagan: We chose flannel because
growing up we wore flannels all the
time. Especially just as young women,
it just has been a piece of a majority of
our outfits because it gives off the sens e
of...you’re not trying too hard. You just
have a little bit of an effortless flair, but
it’s comfortable. It’s simple and we just
love flannels. We noticed that a lot of the
younger kids were bringing it back and
starting to wear it as well. So we were
like, “Listen, why don’t we do something
that’s a classic piece that we already love
and they love”. So yeah, we were like
“Let’s do a flannel where it can be a dress
as well”. So you can wear it so many
ways.
it defines them. And so, it was important
for us to really represent that the things
that you have been through, the tests
that you’ve been through should be your
testimony. And when it defines you,
it can be in a positive way. And really
to unapologetically be themselves, be
authentic and have ownership. Don’t live
in fear and don’t be in a box.
Meagan: And I think too being the girls
who take ownership over themselves,
who love themselves, respect themselves
and have self-worth for some reason is
not a very popular thing. A lot of women
nowadays are feeling like they have to
show themselves a certain way or they
have to do things that may be exploitive.
To each its own, no judgement, but I
think a lot of younger girls are following
in those steps where they think that they
don’t have any value unless they look
like “this”, or unless they’re doing “this”,
or unless they’ve slept with “that” person,
or unless they can compete with “this”
MADE: So what is the definition of a
good girl to you and why do you want to
defend her?
LaMyia: Well, to us we’ve dealt with a
lot of adversity just like a lot of young
women have. I think a lot of times young
women get confused with thinking that
what may have happened to them or
what they have done in their lives whatever scars, damages they may carry,
whatever burdens they may carry - that
