We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Carlotta Hankson Stiggers. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Carlotta below.
Carlotta, thank you so much for joining us and offering your lessons and wisdom for our readers. One of the things we most admire about you is your generosity and so we’d love if you could talk to us about where you think your generosity comes from.
My generosity is deeply rooted in my upbringing and the example set by my parents. Growing up in a household where selflessness, service, and compassion were valued, I internalized the idea of giving without expecting anything in return. As a preacher’s kid, I witnessed firsthand the act of serving others, whether through my parents’ dedication or their financial sacrifices. Their example of always prioritizing the needs of others helped shape my sense of empathy and kindness.
My values of caring and sharing seem to be an extension of that foundation—seeing the world through a lens of “there’s always someone who needs this more than I do.” My generosity is not just about material giving, but also about emotional and spiritual support, an instinct to uplift others because I was taught that this is how we make the world better.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I hold titles that define who I am, and each one I carry with pride. I am an entrepreneur, educator, a social worker, a minister, a daughter, a sister, and a wife. Every role has shaped me, and each continues to inspire the work I do today.
At this chapter in my life, my husband and I have ventured into something truly special together—Kingdom Graphics, our graphic design and printing company. We are more than just a service provider; we are a one-stop shop where creativity meets quality. Our motto, “Bring Your Dreams to Life,” encapsulates everything we stand for—transforming ideas into reality and making every project as unique as the dreams behind it.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. As a creative at heart, I’ve also embraced the opportunity to run an online boutique, offering one-of-a-kind items that speak to my personal style and passion for design. And there’s more: alongside my best friend, I co-own a custom bar featuring t-shirts, engraved items and much more—our creative outlet that’s as much about fun as it is about fashion. Together, we take our designs on the road, traveling all over Texas, sharing our creations with a community that loves what we do.
Our vision is simple, yet powerful: to become the most loved, trusted, and innovative company in our industry. We’re not just looking to make an impact; we’re aiming to build lasting relationships with our clients and set new standards in the world of design and print. Every day, we take one step closer to making that vision a reality, and we’re grateful for the journey ahead.

Advice: “Know where you’re going before you start the journey. Without a clear vision, you risk drifting or wasting resources.”
