Dinah Clotty —UChicago College 2022 graduate, South Sider, and alumna of Dwight D. Eisenhower High School— has centered her creative dreams around her fashion brand, T’Kor Couture. The brand has taken off, offering custom work for Chicago singer-songwriter Jamila Woods. 

Beyond fulfilling her entreprenurial drive, T'Kor Couture offers Clotty a way to embrace her own heritage and amplify the voices of Black, underrepresented voices and creators within the fashion industry. 

T’Kor Couture was also selected to participate in the 2021 Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Accelerator Program.
