International Women’s Series

Lee Evans Lee is the founder and designer of Mrs. Mama Bear, a women's fashion brand that blends performance, comfort, and modern style. Think dresses, suits, and jumpsuits made from performance fabric. Function and fashion in one. Built for women who refuse to choose between how they feel and how they look.

Lee grew up on a ranch in West Texas. She was riding the fence line alone by age 10, figuring it out as she went. That's where she learned to handle fear. To move through it. To know that no matter what happened, she was going to be alright.

Her path wasn't linear. Pre-med, then TV production, then healthcare. Art school at night. Sewing school. She wondered if she was a flake. Looking back, every pivot was preparing her for what came next.

The idea for Mrs. Mama Bear came from her own closet. She was tired of changing clothes five times a day. She wanted function, comfort, and style in one. It didn't exist. So she started drawing.

Here's the part that gave me chills. She kept it secret for a year. Didn't tell anyone. Just drew at night, let it bake. She called it sacred. No opinions, positive or negative. Just her and the work. Counterintuitive to everything we're taught. But she knew it needed time to become solid enough to face the world.

Now she's partnering with the Spurs and launching a sports line. The ranch is still there. She still goes back to listen to the hummingbirds.

Her advice: don't be afraid to hold your dream close while it's forming.
