CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago fitness clothing company is being featured at Target for Black History Month.

Jacqueline Dow is the founder of J. Dow Fitness.

"I really wanted to identify a way where I could have a candid conversation with Black women about the importance of their health," said Dow.

She thought fashion was a way to start that conversation.

Now, her clothing line is being sold in Target stores.

"I honestly thought I was being punked," said Dow.

But it was no joke. She's thrilled by the opportunity.
