When her private videos were leaked online in an apparent attempt to humiliate her, Li Ming from Chicago responded in a way no one expected.
She put the leaked images on a t-shirt and launched a money-making venture!
Li Ming’s story has gained massive attention online since social media personality Te-Erika, posted a video about it.
According to the narration, the situation began when a woman Li Ming had been feuding with — the girlfriend of her incarcerated ex-boyfriend — allegedly posted a private video of her online during a heated Facebook Live exchange.
Rather than retreating in shame, Li Ming took control of the narrative.
“They thought that that was going to hurt me. I don’t care. Shirt is printing, baby,” Ming said confidently in a video insert that popped up in Te-Erica’s video “You can post me and I’m gonna post me too. Now what? Okay, what’s next? Ain’t nobody ever about to make me feel bad about what I do with my life.”
Ming explained that although she made the shirts as a statement of self-ownership and resilience, she has no intention of chasing fame through the incident.
“She doesn’t want to get famous off of selling these t-shirts because she got other goals in life,” Te-Erika noted.
The T-shirt move has been widely applauded as a masterclass in turning adversity into empowerment, with many calling Ming an example of modern-day resilience.
“This is what power looks like,” Te-Erika said, praising Ming for refusing to allow online bullying to define her.
Someone commented:
“Might as well profit while she can“
By refusing to be shamed and instead profiting from the very images meant to hurt her, Ming has sparked a larger conversation online about ownership, dignity, and resilience in the digital age.
