HGC is committed to social justice and uplifting the voice of the voiceless. Our garments turn heads and make people stop in their tracks. Our most notorious battle cry, ‘They Love Our Culture, They Don’t Love Us!”exposes countless instances of discrimination and exploitation happening in our community.
Through the power of garments, we provide access to internships, scholarships, and grassroots involvement that promotes activism, diversity, and the inclusivity needed to create change on a global scale.
When you join this journey, know that you are part of a global army. Grab your pieces, make a statement, and remember you’re now a leader.

Marcia Smith is the founder of HGC Apparel, a brand filled with items that will help send a message of empowerment, self love, and community awareness. While creating a brand of such monumentous impact, Smith found herself in the military stationed abroad while trying to maintain her creation. Despite a challenging situation, Marcia did not stop until she could witness the business grow from a hobby into a dream. While cultivating that dream, Marcia married and had a beautiful son, which lead her into entrepreneurship.
After finishing her seven years with the Army in 2018, Smith started working full-time to grow HGC Apparel after moving back to the States for the first time in almost a decade. This would also be her first time witnessing her brand’s impact in person after only experiencing it through photos on social media.
We still “Fight The Power,” but this generation is taking over the revolution!
