Pockets, Power, and Purpose: How PWR WMN Is Redefining Women’s Workwear

Women should not have to choose between looking polished and being prepared!

In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, Andrea Overturf and Whitney Stuart sit down with Kimberly Borges and Miriam McDonald, the co-founders of PWR WMN, a Dallas-based women’s workwear brand creating bold, functional blazers designed for real women.

Kimberly and Miriam started PWR WMN after working together in car sales and realizing how unequipped women’s professional clothing made them feel compared to their male coworkers. No functional pockets. No place for business cards, pens, lipstick, tampons, phones, or the things women actually carry. So they decided to build the (machine washable!) blazer they needed themselves.

What started as a frustration became a movement!

In this episode we discuss:

• How Kimberly and Miriam went from college friends to co-founders

• The problem with traditional women’s workwear

• Why pockets are not a small detail

• Building a fashion brand with no design background

• Creating blazers based on real women’s bodies and real-life needs

• Size inclusivity and why fit matters

• What it means to build a women-owned, immigrant-founded brand

• The reality of bootstrapped entrepreneurship

• Their major Session Foundation grant win

• Why mentorship, community, and women supporting women matter

• What is next for PWR WMN

Kimberly and Miriam’s story is funny, honest, inspiring, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever thought, “Why does this not exist yet?”

This conversation is about more than blazers. It is about functional fashion, female entrepreneurship, confidence, community, and creating something because women deserve better!
