This brand is a tribute to my grandmother, Dorothy Mae Dudley-Phillips — an educator, a servant leader, and a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Her life was defined by excellence, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting others, especially those who needed it most.

As a special education educator, Dorothy dedicated her career to advocating for students whose voices were often overlooked. She believed that every child deserved dignity, patience, and the opportunity to thrive. Her work wasn’t just a profession — it was her calling.

Dorothy’s Pearls carries that same spirit forward.

Our Purpose

Dorothy’s Pearls is a Delta-inspired lifestyle brand offering thoughtfully designed apparel, accessories, and timeless pieces that celebrate:

• Legacy

• Service

• Scholarship

• Sisterhood

Each item is created to honor the values that bind generations together — faith, excellence, education, and giving back — while remaining respectful of the intellectual property and traditions of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

This brand is not about symbols alone. It is about what they represent.

Giving Back: The Dorothy Mae Dudley-Phillips Scholarship

A portion of every purchase directly supports the Dorothy Mae Dudley-Phillips Scholarship Fund.

This scholarship is awarded to a student pursuing a degree in education, with a special focus on special education, continuing Dorothy’s lifelong mission of advocacy and access.

When you support Dorothy’s Pearls, you are doing more than purchasing a product — you are investing in future educators who will shape lives, open doors, and carry legacy forward.

Our Promise

Dorothy’s Pearls exists to remind us that:

• Legacy never fades

• Service is always in style

• Education is empowerment

• Pearls are formed under pressure — and still shine

This brand is for those who honor where they come from, understand the responsibility of where they’re going, and believe that giving back is not optional — it’s essential.

Welcome to Dorothy’s Pearls — where legacy lives on.
