Our Story
Hi, I’m Tyler.
I created Impossible Words™ to combine a few of my favorite things - T-shirts, words, and giving back.
Don’t let the name fool you. At Impossible Words™, we think anything is possible.
We believe that big words, hard words, or Impossible Words™ spark curiosity and invite questions about the words, what they mean, and how to say them.
It’s a fun way to learn in public by using something as simple as a T-shirt to make learning visible and accessible to everyone.
I find myself learning new words everyday.
Our goal at Impossible Words™ is to spark curiosity and make learning fun, fashionable, and accessible.
The more you see a word, the more familiar it becomes, and in turn, the more likely you are to use it or understand it in everyday conversation.
It’s a win-win. You get a T-shirt that gives back and inspires others to be the best version of themselves.
Here’s a little information about Literacy that you may not have known.
Literacy is a fundamental aspect of human development. Reading, writing, and speaking skills are essential for communication, understanding, academics, and economic growth.
“Literacy drives sustainable development, enables greater participation in the labour market, improves child and family health and nutrition, reduces poverty and expands life opportunities” (UNESCO).
According to UNESCO, 739,000,000 adults cannot read and write. Illiteracy has an enormous effect locally and globally causing high levels of poverty, exploitation from others, and a more difficult daily life.
Where illiteracy keeps people down, Literacy brings people up and liberates them.
Economically speaking, it is estimated that over $2 trillion in revenue is lost annually due to illiteracy across the US.
Who would have thought that something as simple as a single word could affect so many things?
That’s where we start, with a single word and a single t-shirt.
