Love it- The world really can only be healed and transformed when every human being is valued and has a chance to stand in their own light. In Peace,che.

I absolutely LOVED reading your newsletter. Thanks for the share. Black History, past and present, all in one place. Whoever speaks of us being less than amazing is either blind or just not being truthful. xoxo

It’s fantastic! You have the most beautiful people on your site. I love the history and the present intertwined in it. It’s positive and we need it. Bless!

I am a fan for LIFE and look forward to adding some faces to the page – I AM LIWI!

Koncept…I’m so proud of your accomplishments, and your committment to community; I definitely see you in the light. ASE. ~ EvE A. Labi | Artistic Director, EvEnts By EvE ~

I would like to commend you guys for the positive and informative mess put out there. I know its very important to know thyself but its hard to do sometimes without an empowered foundation. I believe this movement will be that foundation. Peace and love

I think a couple weeks after I first heard about this powerful movement, I bought myself a t-shirt! And I am so glad I did!!!
I love this strength, dedication, passion and love behind this movement!! This movement helps me to remember that every day is Black History Month because I am part of this formidable race! I take pride in who I am, in my community and in my Culture.
My t-shirt is through-provoking, intellect, truth and style and I must say, I do wear it fabulously!!
As i end this comment, I want to say – an excerpt from my blog -http://pastexotic.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/what-will-we-tell-our-children/ -
(Excerpt from my blog – A very wise man, a Pan Africanist Americ…an writer, historian, professor, and a pioneer in the creation of Africana studies and professional institutions in academia starting in the late 1960s, Dr. Henry Clark once said, “what will we tell our children? At what point do we sit down and not argue about t.v, at what time do we sit down and tell simple stories about our revolutionary heritage and get it across to our children, we have the longest revolutionary heritage of any people on the face of the earth. We have fought longer and harder, and against great odds than any people on the face of earth, why do our children not know this. Because if they knew this and they loved themselves, none of them would put poison in their veins, if they knew this they would know that a code of conduct is expected of them. They cannot afford to live selfishly, their conduct must reflect the best and a whole people and when someone tries to lead them in ways not of their liking, they should have enough sense of their own selves on this earth to say ‘we are not a people that engage in things of that nature’. We are not a people demean ourselves in that way, but for them to know this – they have to know what kind of society produced them.”)
- So I thank you for this movement, because even when my mouth is closed, my ‘Liwi68′ shirt speaks volumes!!

Patience is indeed a virtue but patience without wisdom is can only bring about folly. Know the difference between when to be patient and when to take action.

… speaking of which, impatiently IMPATIENTLY awaiting the next LIWI Tee.! Live It Wear It. On my sleeve… on my heart… I’m living and “alive…” it’s a state of mind baby!

Live It, Wear It 68 represents the best of the best in Toronto fashion, music, culture, love and wisdom. These brothers and sisters are nothing less than the modern day kings and queens of the future of the world, as I believe in my family and friends in art to light the path to a brighter tomorrow, more than the selfish leaders controlling the world now. Goddess bless you all for supporting LIWI68 and all the wisdom it shares in both word and action. Love and only more love.

keep up the good work and positive messages.

I’m comfortable in my own skin and I’m comfortable with the life I live. I’ll “Live it and Wear it” till the day I die.

This is a great movement and inspires me to keep on pushing in life so that I can live it and wear it!!!! This will only get bigger and better. I send all my good vibes and energy to this work!!!

The LiWi movement is a daily reminder of where we were, where we are, and were can go both as individuals, culture, and society. Love it!

Beautiful, inspiring and strong – so good. Let me know if you need anything.

Love the movement! Empowerment is crucial! Continue to send the positive message! I will be sporting my “fist” tee soon!!!

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

My you lift every voice and bring the present to mind for we are only as strong as those who stand with you in faith and trust that a difference can be made. Blessed!

This is a “For Us By Us” movement that I can truly support to the fullest. Not only is the clothing line (thus far) sharp and stylish, but the message is poignantly clear and “Louder Than A Bomb”! We need to share knowledge because that empowers generations and can break down the barriers that our parents, grandparents, & further ancestors have fought long and hard to chip away at. Sadly we still live in a world of darkness that is begging for the light this message can bring. Power to the people ya’ll!

A truly inspiring movement. Our own empowerment is a testimony to the blessings God has given us.. I’m so grateful that the LIWI movement continuously supports individuality as well as unity among people. =) In peace and love, Z.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! Continue to inspire!!! Stay blessed.

Imagine if every single person positively used their talents as you do.

Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven right, ring with the harmony of liberty! such a STRONG song….keep the movement STRONG!

Great campaign my friend. The concept. The execution. The response. I wish you continued success throughout all of your efforts delivering words of power, messages of solidarity, and the spirit of togetherness. Remember…black history is 365 days a year, not 28.

I’ve been a fan of Kurupt’s work for some time now and you can count me in to support the cause.
Live, Love Life

I would just give a big shout and big ups to this Brother who is constantly and is consistent at his vision of uniting the people and having us move in a postive direction. It is not to often artist reach out to other artist inorder to create a larger artform much less a movement and I must say kudos for doing so. We are growing as a force and as a intertwine and connected postive community who educate and inspire. You dun know we must continue to live it and wear it like the skin we are in. Black is unity.

you need to get the tee in an XS for women! I got one from you last year, but it’s still hella big.

Congratulations on having an effective movement going. Good to see.

Mark been doing it from time!!! had some of the early stuff but this is a new level!!! Big ups

Mark it’s great to see your hard work bring your vision to fruition. Keep doin it big and we’ll promise to do the same. That’s positive peer pressure….

reading your encouraging comments or excerpts from authors and great leaders..always starts my day on a good note. I look forward to them daily..

thank you..Kurupt

Mark,

Nuff respect, admiration, and inspiration. You continue to move the conversation forward so that specifically our people, and more importantly all people, can continue to strive for more. A constant reminder that in our own personal lives we all are standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before us and afforded us the opportunities that we do have. Real recognize real. Whatever you need, I got you.

Mark, this is a great campaign. It is time for us to take control of life, and take responsibility for our actions as a unified people, irrespective of race, gender, color, religious preferences – Unity is what we need.

I neeed to get my body in one of these shirts! Love the concept… LIWI for real!

Love it! straight to the point and impactful and inspiring! well done

Love it all!

Be…Dream…Inspire…Share
Those were the words resonating my soul as I talked to Live It Wear It visionary Mark Stoddart. His vision – to educate, empower and unite. I am truly excited and passionate about this merging of ideas, success and people coming together through the “LIWI Movement.”

♥Respect and love the movement …. LIWI

Gailann..

Keep doing your thing! What you are doing in the community through this avenue is fantastic! Let us all unite. Peace, Love & Blessings

you hav emy love and support.. Move forward with dignity and compassion. It is our obligation to make the world a better place for the next generation.

You should give homage to the artist that made this symbol of the clenched fist a movement icon for political consciousness in the 1960′s. His name was Frank Cieciorka. Look him up and learn about this tenacious soul. – he was my brother!

Good afternoon James,

It is a great pleasure and honor that you have stumbled across our page and commented on our site. We acknowledge that your brother Frank Cieciorka was the artist who used the iconic symbol of the fist in various social movement posters for “change” in the early 60s. For the most part, Frank can be considered the founder or rather pioneer in the “fist” becoming such a powerful symbol worldwide.

We would love to pay homage to your brother by profiling his bio and some of his work on our site. There are limited images and information pertaining to his life and his work so perhaps you can assist us with some material to share his story. We had featured the article titled “Brief History of the Clenched Fist” on our site below, where it did mention your brother’s name and showed some of his earlier images.

http://www.liwi68.com/2011/03/a-brief-history-of-the-clenched-fist/

Being an artist/graphic designer myself, I appreciate and respect what your brother has and intended to do through

his work/images. One particular piece that I would like to get more information on is this pic of Nate Turner that he did.

http://www.docspopuli.org/images/Cieciorka_images/07_0913_007.jpg

If you could provide a bigger copy of this image, or perhaps point me in the right direction as to where I can find this image featured, or would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, thank you for visiting our site and we here at LIWI68 look forward to hearing from you. Also check out http://www.johncarlos68.com another one of the sites I created specifically for Dr. John Carlos.

Cheers,

Mark Stoddart
President of LIWI68
