She then attached a screenshot of herself wearing a red hoodie with a caption across the chest, saying: "Make sure your friends are okay." The sizes range from small to 2XL. On MSYFAO's website, it reveals that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project.

In an Instagram post by MSYFAO, Tana explained that there was a time in her life where a friend checking in with her was the only thing that would keep her going for another day.

 

 

I "MSYFAO came around during a time of my life that wasn’t the lightest.. truly a time where a friend checking in on me would keep me going another day. It ignited a fire in me to be that friend for others."

​

 

She continued to say that the movement is "so much bigger" to her than a hoodie and that she hopes to "inspire" others to check in with friends, and making sure that they're okay.

 

​

What is The Trevor Project?

 

Basically, The Trevor Project provides "crisis intervention and suicide prevention services" to the LGBTQ+ community who are under 25.

 

YouTuber James Charles had previously donated 50% of proceeds from his Sisters Apparel Pride Collection. However, fans had previously slammed James during a Pride Parade for posing in front of a Trevor Project banner.

 

 

What is MSYFAO? (Make Sure Your Friends Are Okay)

 

MSYFAO was created by Justin and Hunter Moreno, who, after watching a dramatic event occurring on a TV reality show, wondered "where are their friends, and why aren’t they helping?"

 

MSYFAO's vision is for a world where "meaningful conversation is the new normal", and they aim to achieve this through merch and social media to "get the world talking."
