Lewks GY was born out of determination and a passion for entrepreneurship by 18-year-old Quiana Chester. As a student at St. Stanislaus College, Chester launched her accessories store in 2021 with just $8,000, a helping hand from a friend, and the drive to support her studies. Inspired by her entrepreneurial parents, Chester confidently navigated the business world, learning how to market and promote her products on social media.

Despite balancing the challenges of school and business, Chester opened a storefront in Georgetown and expanded her services, offering delivery beyond the city. Her dedication, along with overwhelming support from friends, family, and loyal customers, has made Lewks a growing brand.
