About the Voice HGC Apparel

What is HGC Apparel?

In the early 2000s, there was a scarcity in meaningful apparel that once dominated black culture. Clothing was beginning to lack value, substance, and most importantly pride. This passion for activism, alongside vibrant color ways, and daring statements, challenge the social constructs of society and show the world your voice. The brand has grown so much over years and is now in Foot Locker, Footaction, and Champs Sports locations across the nation.

About the Voice HGC Apparel
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!
