YOU ARE ROOTED
ADD YOUR SQUARE

Long before hashtags and viral campaigns, Black women used quilts to communicate, organize, and build community. Harriet Tubman used quilt patterns as coded maps on the Underground Railroad. Quilting circles during the Civil Rights Movement were spaces for strategizing and solidarity. Today, artists like Bisa Butler continue this tradition, transforming fabric into powerful portraits of Black life and heritage. Your I AM ROOTED badge connects you to this unbroken chain of creativity, resilience, and collective action. It's your personal statement of support for a movement that's weaving a new economic reality for Black women.
