Note: The only difference between the swag level and merch level is that the merch level gets Melanin in YA merch. Since the merch store is opening up later this year in 2022 and anyone will be able to buy merch whenever they want, this tier as it stands now is not essential so it is being renamed "Sincere Support" for anyone who wants to genuinely support Melanin in YA at a higher level. You will still get merch at this level if you support here. Thank you.
