Discover how Chancie C. Johnson Jr. founded Blessed But Humble Inc as a tribute to his grandmother’s wisdom, blending fashion with powerful values of gratitude and humility.
In a world where brands often rely on flashy logos and aggressive marketing tactics to stand out, there are few that manage to capture the essence of life’s deeper values. Blessed But Humble Inc, founded by Chancie C. Johnson Jr., is one of those rare gems. More than just a clothing line, it’s a movement — a reminder to live with intention, be grateful for life’s blessings, and stay humble no matter what the world throws at you.
The heart of this brand lies in a simple yet profound philosophy, passed down from Chancie’s beloved grandmother, Granny Lissie. She would often say, “Be blessed and humble/grateful with what you have because the Lord giveth and taketh. One minute you can have it all and then at the snap of a finger, it can be all gone. So you have to stay humble.” These words, spoken with the wisdom of experience, became the foundation for Blessed But Humble Inc.
The Origins of Blessed But Humble Inc.
It all began in December 2023, when Chancie decided to bring his grandmother’s teachings to life in a tangible way. Her words had always been a guiding light for him, and after her passing, he found that her lessons were more vital than ever. He saw the world around him: people scrambling for success, chasing material wealth, and losing sight of what really mattered — gratitude and humility.
It was then that Blessed But Humble Inc. was born. But this was no ordinary clothing line. Instead of simply designing apparel, Chancie wanted each piece to embody the core values of his grandmother’s teachings. The message was clear: true wealth is not measured by the possessions you own, but by your ability to recognize your blessings and remain humble in the face of adversity.
Chancie’s vision was to create a clothing line that transcended age, gender, and background. Blessed But Humble is for everyone — no matter your walk of life, we all have something to be grateful for. His brand represents a lifestyle, a commitment to acknowledging the blessings in every moment, whether they’re big or small.
Like any entrepreneur, Chancie faced his fair share of challenges. Starting a business during a global pandemic was no easy feat, and the fashion industry, especially the world of online retail, is fiercely competitive. But Chancie’s resolve remained unshaken. His grandmother’s words echoed in his mind every step of the way: “The Lord giveth and taketh.”
As he navigated the challenges of supply chains, marketing, and customer acquisition, Chancie remained focused on the bigger picture. He knew that Blessed But Humble Inc. was more than just about making a profit. It was about spreading a message, touching lives, and building a community of like-minded individuals who shared his values.
One of the major decisions that set Blessed But Humble apart from other brands was Chancie’s commitment to inclusivity. While many clothing lines cater to a specific demographic, Chancie knew that the principles of humility and gratitude were universal. Blessed But Humble’s pieces aren’t just for a select few; they’re for anyone who wants to wear their values on their sleeve — quite literally.
Recognition and Growth
As the months passed, Blessed But Humble began to gain traction. In August 2025, Chancie had the opportunity to participate in the 30th Anniversary Black Women’s Expo in Chicago. It was a pivotal moment in the brand’s journey. Not only did it offer exposure to a wider audience, but it also solidified Blessed But Humble’s position as a brand with a meaningful message. This exposure led to even more exciting opportunities, including appearances on ABC News and participation in several pop-up events in Nashville and fashion shows in Indianapolis.
But the most thrilling chapter was just beginning. Blessed But Humble was set to make its mark on a global stage. In September 2025, the brand will be part of New York Fashion Week — a dream come true for Chancie and his team. And that’s not all. In the following year, the brand will be participating in Paris Fashion Week and Miami Fashion Week, bringing its message of gratitude and humility to some of the world’s most influential fashion events.
