Keith Stewart

I moved to Garland 40 years ago to serve as an associate pastor in a small south Garland church.

It was an old, traditional church that was dying. Read more>>
Eboni Steward

True Chosen didn’t start as a clothing brand, it started as a healing journey. For most of my life, I carried what I later learned was an orphan spirit: feeling unseen, unchosen, over-responsible, and constantly striving to prove my worth. Even as an educated, high-achieving woman, I was still unhealed. I looked strong on the outside, but internally I was surviving, not whole. Read more>>

My husband and business partner attended undergrad and dental school together. After graduation, we returned to my home state of Texas and worked for various companies as associate dentist.
