"This past weekend we went to the California Democratic Convention and was able to meet Kamala Harris. She is running for U.S. Senate, and she is a black woman. I am very much pro-black woman and so I decided to wear her shirt today. Not everyone knows who she is, I've had people ask me," Hempstead said.

"As far as my fashion sensibilities, I think it comes from different aspects of my identity, whether it's being a black woman and rocking an afro and feeling comfortable rocking it and knowing what it represents as far as the black power movement or just being as bright and vibrant as I can be. I just like to be fun and bubbly and like to be spirited. And I think when people see individuals who dress in the manner that I do, they automatically think 'eccentric,' but for me, it just means a strong personality and a willingness to explore things that aren't commonly done," added Joseph.

"There's a vigil tonight, and I didn't want to wear all black. Even though there's times of sadness and you don't know what's happening, why not still be vibrant?" mentioned Maryam Karim, a second-year sociology student.
