Beauty & Brains Tees

Beauty & Brains Tees Beauty & Brains Tees is a brand for everyone. You can be bold yet stylish. Check out our online stor Beauty & Brains Tee Boutique was established in 2016.

It all started from the Black Women are Smart tee which was influenced by the U.S. Census statistic that black women are the most educated group in the United States by race and gender. The findings were amazing and 24 shirts were sold in a week. The statistic fit the bill of he Head Beauty in Charge (H.B.I.C,), Lysha Fuqua, an Oakland, CA native. She received her B.A. in Speech and Communication

from San Francisco State University and her Master’s in Public Administration from Cal State East Bay. Her education and belief that “you can’t just be cute to get by, but also you must be smart” is what influenced the name Beauty & Brains. Lysha’s biggest motivator is her two children and the support received from family and friends. Her 10 year old daughter Skye has a big influence on the Beauty & Brains brand, so much that she finalize the color of the logo and was the inspiration behind the Happy Hair shirt and later she hopes to come up with t-shirt ideas for kids. Her son Max is 3 years old and is busy jumping on beds, so he’s not yet ready to contribute to the family business. Beauty & Brains’ Tee Boutique is aiming to create shirts with statements that are prideful, yet versatile enough to worn to church, work, school, a night out on the town or simply just a day out and about. The goal is to be part of every smart and beautiful woman’s wardrobe.

✨ Style is in the details.

Today’s look is inspired by the Melanin is Beautiful statement tee from Beauty & Brains Tees. (This is an inspiration mockup—the final tee features our original Beauty & Brains design.)

I wanted to show how mixing textures and prints can create a look that’s bold without feeling overwhelming. Zebra, snakeskin, and cowhide all work together because they’re balanced with neutral tones and classic black.

The finishing touches make the outfit:
🤎 Statement earrings: Belle Noire
🐄 Cowhide clutch: MellRose
🖤 Statement tee: Inspired by Beauty & Brains Tees

Proof that animal prints don’t have to compete—they can complement each other when styled with intention.

Would you wear this look for:
✨ Brunch
🍸 Girls’ night
🎶 Day party
🤠 Concert
…or all of the above?

Lately, I’ve realized I’m in a new chapter of life.

The days of constantly raising little ones have changed, and while they’ll always need me, they need me differently now. That has created space for something I hadn’t experienced in a long time…

Me.

I’ve started working out. I’ve been pouring more into Beauty & Brains Tees. I’m discovering what brings me joy, what challenges me, and who I’m becoming in this season.

One thing I’ve noticed is that so many women around my age are doing the same.

We’re picking up new hobbies.
Starting businesses.
Traveling.
Protecting our peace.
Choosing ourselves without guilt.

This chapter isn’t about getting older.

It’s about finally having the time—and giving ourselves permission—to become the women we’ve always wanted to be.

I’d love to hear from you. 💕

What’s one new habit you’ve started, or what’s something you’ve learned about yourself in this season of life?

Let’s inspire each other in the comments. ✨

This hoodie wasn’t made to blend in.

It was made for the woman who walks in knowing exactly who she is.

Confident.
Stylish.
A little bougie.
Exactly as she should be.
