🚨 Exciting News! 🚨

At Status Apparel DC, we believe it’s always the perfect season for growth and perfecting our craft. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Status Apparel DC has officially joined the Washington Area Community Investment Fund (Wacif) Ascend Retail Cohort! 🙏🏾 This six-week program is designed to help retail businesses in the Greater Washington, D.C. area thrive, and we are beyond honored to be included alongside other incredible businesses in our community.


The Ascend Retail Cohort offers a comprehensive, multi-week program with interactive workshops, one-on-one consultations, and mentorship opportunities. With a focus on building resilient businesses, this program will help us strengthen the foundation of Status Apparel DC through:


  • Brand Strategy & Digital Positioning

  • Financial Management

  • Consumer Insights & Market Research

  • Revenue Stream Development


For us, this isn’t just an opportunity to gain valuable business skills, but a chance to connect with and learn from fellow entrepreneurs in our city. With the support of Wacif, SEEDSPOT, and the Anacostia Arts Center, we’re excited to deepen our knowledge, enhance our brand, and take Status Apparel DC to the next level!


Why This Matters


Wacif’s mission aligns with our own: to create equitable economic opportunities in the communities we serve. Wacif promotes equity and economic growth in underserved neighborhoods in D.C. by supporting small business owners with resources, access to capital, and capacity-building. SEEDSPOT, another key program partner, shares our passion for empowering entrepreneurs to make a real impact in their communities. We’re excited to partner with organizations that champion inclusivity, innovation, and resilience for small businesses like ours.


Looking Ahead


In the coming weeks, we’re eager to share this journey with you and keep you updated on our progress. We’re not just growing as a brand—we’re growing as a part of the community, a journey that’s truly priceless. Thank you, Wacif, SEEDSPOT, Anacostia Arts Center, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Let’s keep this momentum going and continue to build something great together!


Thank you to our supporters for helping us reach this milestone, and we look forward to this next phase of growth with gratitude and excitement. #Grateful #LearningandGrowing #TrustYourProcess #PerfectSeasonCollection #AscendRetailCohort #StatusApparelDC #StatusWayOfLife
