more About Micoma Block

The name MiCoMa Block carries deep meaning and history. Mi- being first name, CoMa comes from the initials of family names—representing heritage, resilience, and identity. Block signifies standing strong and standing alone—an unshakable foundation. Together, the name represents independence, strength, and the determination to do things on one’s own terms.

Raised by her single mother, Dianna, grew up in a home where creativity turned rags into riches. Dianna made sure her children never felt the full weight of going without, teaching them that hard work and imagination could provide abundance. Watching her mother’s resourcefulness, MiCoMa learned to value perseverance and generosity.

As a young girl, MiCoMa often dreamed of things her family couldn’t afford stylish clothes, trendy shoes, the luxuries her peers seemed to take for granted. She made a promise to herself that one day she would create opportunities for others like her, people with big dreams and small budgets. She wanted to prove that looking good and feeling good didn’t have to come with an impossible price tag.

Throughout her life, MiCoMa found ways to give back. She donated clothes in good condition, welcomed those in need into her home, and cooked meals with the intention of sharing them with friends and family who were struggling. Inspired by her grandmothers, Grandma Lucille and Granny Gwen, she embraced the idea of community care and lifting others up.

At times, MiCoMa felt like she was on her own island, a solitary “block” in the city carrying the weight of wanting to help many while being just one person. She also realized something powerful. Appearance often influences how the world listens. By investing in herself and dressing the part, she discovered the confidence to step into rooms where she could make a difference.

That lightbulb moment became the foundation for MiCoMa Block. This brand was born not only from fashion, but from a belief:
"When we look good, we feel good, and when we feel good, we find the confidence to chase our goals".

MiCoMa Block is more than clothing. It’s a movement that begins with affordable style and grows into something much greater. This is only the beginning of the journey.
