Tamicka "Coffee" Hogan is a visionary entrepreneur, artist, and storyteller who turns creativity into wearable art. As the CEO and creative force behind Unlocked Brims, she’s redefining self-expression—one custom hat at a time.
A 20-year Army veteran, Coffee’s journey into entrepreneurship didn’t start in a boardroom; it started in a dream. At 40, she kept seeing buttons on a hat in her sleep. The vision was so vivid, so persistent, that she couldn’t ignore it. What began as a simple dream soon became Unlocked Brims—a brand dedicated to storytelling through fashion.
But Coffee’s creativity doesn’t stop there. She has brought her life’s journey to the stage, producing a play where each act represents a different era of her life—told through dance, song, and poetry. She’s sat down for interviews with DJ Money Now, One:11 Studios, and Scars, sharing her story of resilience, artistry, and reinvention. And as a designer, she has taken her talents to the big stage, competing at the International Designer Competition in New Jersey.
With a military background that instilled discipline and leadership, Coffee has built Unlocked Brims into more than just a brand—it’s a movement. Each custom brim carries a story, whether it’s about heritage, ambition, or life’s defining moments. Through pop-up events, brand collaborations, and immersive experiences, she’s making sure her work is more than just fashion—it’s a legacy.
At 40, Coffee proved that dreams don’t expire. They’re just waiting to be unlocked.
