Copa: When did you establish your business?
CeCe: From birth, I believe that God made me His servant in my business and in my personal life. I’ve had several businesses, but my bread and butter has always been uniforms. I didn’t start my uniform company, but I worked here until I was able to save up to buy the business. I supply uniforms to several large accounts including corporate and government entities. I was blessed to publish my own line of Christian books. The first was “A Little Dose of Jesus”. Even though the names change in the series, my love for the people of God comes through on every page. Titles include “A Little Dose of Grace”. The grace of God is with us daily. Grace got us up this morning when others had a plane ticket but didn’t wake up to make the flight. It’s not all about me, but I have so many testimonies of how God has used my books to help others grow who read them. Often people feel all alone and feel they are the only ones going through things. But millions go through the same things that nobody is talking about. But I find scriptures to help people overcome the test put before them for growth within their lives. The Mercy of God is so big that it took two books to fill the “A Little Does of Mercy” books and I still feel that it wasn’t enough.

Copa: When did you learn how to sew?
CeCe: I learned how to sew from the age of five. I had no idea that, 50 years later, I would still be sewing. As a young child, I learned as much as anyone would teach me including sewing, knitting and many other crafts. I know how to do it all. I learned to monogram by hand before computerized machines were widely used. I’ve worked in the trade of clothing and uniforms all my life and I’m one of the most successful small businesses in the state of Georgia. I’m a talented home improvement and drapery consultant. Both of my parents were very skillful and taught us all to earn our bread daily and for a lifetime. The long talks my father gave us while warming his food and other small tasks have truly paid off. We are living in what he instilled in us every day.

Copa: What does the future hold for CeCe?
CeCe: My heart’s desire is to retire serving Jesus. I’ve been writing since I was about eight years old. I had a closet full of books of poems as a child that I wrote, and I put some of them in school magazines. I’ve always loved reading books by different writers, but James Baldwin is my favorite. I would get lost in the pages of his life as if I was right there with him going through with him.
God has control over my life and His will shall be done in my life. I’m holding strong to tell the story of Jesus’ healing and blessings that He still has for His people. God has not changed, but people have. What He did back then, He’s still doing today. Let the blessing of God be for the ones who trust Him for all their needs.
