Life has a way of testing our resilience, often in ways we never expect. My journey was no exception. While attending Auburn University, I became pregnant and was diagnosed with a life-threatening blood clot. Overnight, my world shifted—I had to move back home, leave behind my independence, and rely on my family for support. Dropping out of college wasn’t part of the plan, but I refused to let my circumstances define me. Through determination and faith, I found the strength to return to school, earn my degree, and raise my son as a single mother. Today, he is a freshman at LSU, a testament to the power of resilience and perseverance.
At Rena’s Couture, resilience is woven into every piece we create. We believe that fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a tool for self-expression, confidence, and empowerment. Our Blazin’ Blazer Project was born from this mission, equipping young women with the mindset, skills, and professional attire to step boldly into their future. A blazer represents more than style; it symbolizes strength, ambition, and leadership—qualities every woman should carry with her.
No matter what challenges life throws your way, remember that setbacks are only setups for greater comebacks. You have the strength to rise, to push forward, and to create the life you deserve. At Rena’s Couture, we’re here to remind you that you are powerful, resilient, and destined for success.
