TUPELO â¢Wear It Well founder Katina Holland, 48, has a strong background of giving back.
Though the organization she created has only been around since 2017, the idea for it started over a decade ago. Holland was a longtime volunteer with Camp Bluebird, a camp for adult cancer patients and survivors co-sponsored by North Mississippi Medical Center and the AT&T Pioneers.
That experience, she said, sparked her initial idea of giving makeovers to cancer patients.
âFast forward a few years, and then I started experiencing a lot of life-altering events, one after the other,â Holland said.
The first of those life-altering events was the passing of her grandmother, Leona Givhan Davis, in 2013. Davis raised Holland to help others, and her death put Holland in a dark place emotionally.
