Who We Are

Young Statements is a clothing brand for children with bold statements. Our apparel empowers children by giving them a voice. 

At Young Statements, we aim to do our part in reducing the number of children who are sexually and physically abused by highlighting the importance of consent. Our apparel features clear and consistent words around the concept of consent, — simple words like my body, no, and touch. Consent at any age is important. By giving your children the tools they need to take ownership of their body & set their own boundaries, you are keeping them safe. 

This is our contribution to the cause. We hope that you find value and support through Young Statements.

Sequoia, @sequoiarhian

As a survivor of child sexual and physical abuse, Sequoia has a passion for bringing awareness to these situations and how common they are. Sequoia participated in pageants with the platform of child abuse awareness, and also wrote and performed songs about the topic. Young Statements is Sequoia's way of helping to spread the message about how the impact of abuse and lack of consent being taught at an early age can cause a cycle of abuse.
