About 7 Semicolon Couture
We're more than just a boutique; we're a movement dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
With every purchase, a portion of the proceeds supports mental health awareness and suicide prevention organizations.
This mission is deeply personal. It was inspired by the loss of my baby brother, Corey Remington, whose life was tragically cut short in 2021. I also honor the memory of my grandfather, Victor Remington, who took his life in 1984, and my dear friend, Dr. Michael George, whom we lost just a few months ago.
Through fashion, we aim to keep their legacies alive and foster a community that promotes compassion, resilience, and healing.
As the oldest of ten children and a mother of two grown sons, my life has been a tapestry woven with diverse experiences. From running businesses in the beauty and fitness industry to working with celebrities, athletes, and even juveniles, I’ve navigated a wide spectrum of professional roles. However, it wasn’t until 2024 that I finally made the transition to fulfill a long-held dream: launching my own online boutique.
The inspiration behind my boutique goes beyond mere commerce. It’s rooted in a profound purpose—a tribute to my baby brother, a cherished father, son, and husband, whose life was tragically cut short in 2021. His untimely passing ignited a fire within me to champion mental health awareness and suicide prevention, aiming to dismantle the stigma surrounding these critical issues.
In the United States, more than one in five adults grapple with mental illness, and suicide rates have surged by approximately 36% between 2000 and 2021. These alarming statistics underscore the urgency of our mission.
Our Mission:
At our boutique, we’re committed to making a positive impact. We curate unique, fashionable items that not only elevate your style but also carry uplifting messages. When you make a purchase, know that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to organizations actively working toward Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention.
But our mission extends beyond transactions. We’re building a supportive community—one that hosts events with industry professionals and collaborates with local organizations. Through our passion for advocating mental health, we aim to create lasting change in the lives of those facing these challenges. Together, we can foster a society that prioritizes mental well-being, offers unwavering support, and prevents further tragedies. Let’s stand united in our fight to end the stigma.
The Meaning Behind Our Name:
-
“7”: This number holds dual significance. It represents my brother’s birth month—July (the seventh month)—and acknowledges that he was the seventh child among our ten siblings.
-
Semicolon: Inspired by the Semicolon Project, we embrace this symbol as a beacon of hope and unity. Just like a semicolon in a sentence, we believe that life continues even after struggles. It signifies the potential to persevere, progress, and flourish despite mental health challenges.
-
Couture: Our commitment to high-end fashion and unique products reflects our dedication to making a difference.
