Bulk Up Barbie is where this whole story quietly began.
The very first idea I ever had for a shirt in my early twenties—back when healing felt far away and survival was still brand new.
Everyone in my building called me Barbie, especially my best friend Amanda, who lived three doors down.
We both walked through abusive relationships…
and we both walked out. Together.
Whenever I felt small, she’d whisper,
“Bulk up, Barbie. Be the best Barbie you can be.”
This hoodie is for the best friends who helped us survive.
For the women who feel a little broken but keep rising anyway.
For the moment we stop hiding, take off the tape, and finally tell the truth.
If you have a best friend who fought beside you,
buy this for her.
Let her know she’s strong, tough, and still standing.
Because being soft doesn’t mean being weak.
And broken things can still shine.
Bulk up, Barbie.
Be the best Barbie you can be. ?
