A legacy worth celebrating. ✨

On October 8th, 2025, at the historic Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, my Uncle Derrick and Aunt Bernita were honored as the 2025 Retailers of the Year at the 68th Annual IRMA Meeting for their incredible business; Personal Touch Boutique in East St. Louis, IL.

Their journey is one of faith, perseverance, and purpose. Built on the belief in people over profit. For decades, they’ve been a cornerstone in their community, clothing generations and pouring love into everyone they serve.

What a blessing to witness such a well-deserved recognition for all they’ve built; not just a business, but a legacy. 💛
