Regina DuBose - Perpetuating Wealth: Secrets to Longevity in Small Business

What People Are Saying About Regina DuBose

Regina is a great businesswoman who responsibly handles her customers and friends with respect, making their needs a priority. I have utilized her services many times, for company picnics, church celebrations, and birthday gatherings. She has provided a variety of personalized, small gift items, including t-shirts, hats, water bottles, and balloon decorations, all of which have received extremely high compliments in regards to quality work and materials.

I have also witnessed Regina overcome many obstacles along her journey. She has dealt with periods without transportation, financial challenges, and family difficulties, yet her faith in Gods Word and plan for her life have pushed to persevere through it all.

Reginas consistency, compassion and dedication are not only demonstrated in her business, but also in family. As a single parent, she supported her daughter through college and graduate school, while taking care of her mother in her final days. She is a true inspiration.

God has His hand on Reginas life and that she is obedient and faithful to his Word.

I love my Sister in Christ and I am excited to see where God takes her in the next level on her journey.

Regina DuBose, owner of The Alexis Company, has been doing t-shirts for my company for many years. She was located on Gratiot Avenue in the Eastern Market area of Detroit, Michigan. Her company was always professional, no matter how small or large your order.

My company re-connected with her again when I was doing plays with Ms. Shirley Rayford, her church member. So, The Alexis Company started doing t-shirts for my skating parties and all my plays.

Great work and GREAT memories.

I met Regina over 15 years ago. She has always been a committed businesswoman. She created some apparel for my business and did a great job. Regina is a top-notch business professional. She takes time to motivate other people in business. Being in business for 35 years, she has to be doing something right!

I had the pleasure of meeting Sister Regina DuBose in 2003 as our church, New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church, was preparing to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. That year, we had a little over 300 race participants.

Sister Regina pushed out the orders for not just t-shirts, but matching gold hats as well. Our team lit up Woodward Avenue in those gold shirts and hats. Everyone, from the TV commentators, Race Planning Committee, and other race participants, commented on New Prospects Sea of Gold shirts! That was the beginning of a soon-to-be 20-year relationship between New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church and Alexis Novelty and Gifts.

Sister Regina is an extraordinary entrepreneur and businesswoman, and a fine woman of God who lovingly cares for others. Sister Regina, I say bravo to you; job well done! Knowing you and working with you have been a true blessing for me! Thank you for blessing New Prospect by sharing your God-given talents and gifts! Congratulations on the success of your business and celebration of 35 years! And added congratulations on your success as a published author. May God continue to bless you, as you bless others.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Regina DuBose and The Alexis Company for three of my family reunions from 2010 to 2016. Ms. DuBoses services have been superb. The quality of t-shirts, the lettering, and the pricing are second to none.

Tasha Squires , Certified Meeting Planner

I met Regina DuBose through Beverly Williams, who is the director of the Seniors Program at Adams Butzel Recreation Center.

Ms. Regina started doing t-shirts for our Seniors Program about seven or eight years ago. During that time, she was always a reliable vendor, getting our merchandise to us in a timely manner.

Thank you, Ms. Regina, for your professionalism. I look forward to continuing to doing business with The Alexis Company. Because of your kind and Christian way, I say that is the key to keeping customers and having a successful business.

Ms. Delora Acker , Merchandising Assoc., Butzel Adams Rec. Center

I began doing business in the late 90s with Regina when The Alexis Company was located on Gratiot Avenue, near downtown Detroit. As a professional Mary Kay Beauty Consultant since 1982, I purchased gift baskets to merchandise my products for various holidays.

In addition, Regina rendered outstanding services for our family reunion when she printed and delivered t-shirts ahead of schedule. Even though she was not driving at the time, appointments were always kept by way of the bus. That speaks volumes in being a committed and determined businesswoman!

As true women of God, we stand in the combined choirs of Unity Baptist Church, and we also grew up in the same neighborhood. I am truly grateful that our paths crossed, and its a blessing we have become great friends.

I must say, I really enjoyed reading your manuscript. I have to add that it gave me such a thrill to read so much detail and great memory of your journey.

I see where your book will help a lot of people enjoy the purpose of business, and the enlightenment of getting to know others. I also see where your beginning has no end.

And you have really taken my thought process to another level. I thank you.

Darnell Glover , Salon On The Park

This book was fabulous. You really stated all the details and tips on how to succeed in running your own business. Examples include how to treat customers with respect and listening to their concerns. I also went to Wayne State. And my dad also taught me what you stated: word of mouth is very important to growing. I wish you all the success, and I know the book will be on the top of the list on Amazon!

This book should be in every females collection of inspiring books. Reginas book is a collection of empowering business and leadership advice. She is an incredible woman with an incredible story. I have had the pleasure of knowing Regina for 10+ years. I am writing this review in memory of my late father, Dominic Ciaravino, who encouraged her to pursue and start her own screen-printing business. Today, my brother and I continue to honor our fathers legacy, encouraging and teaching others to start their own screen-printing business.
