Meeting Chancey Timmons-Wilson is nothing short of inspiring. As a multifaceted individual excelling in fashion, equestrian sports, and philanthropy, Chancey has seamlessly transitioned from a dedicated nursing career to becoming the CEO of ParTee’s Ladies Golf line. With her new clothing line set to debut at the Atlanta Fashion and Polo Classic, she continues to redefine boundaries and set new standards. 

Samantha Reed: What motivated you to move from nursing to becoming an equestrian and polo player? 

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: My transition from nursing to equestrian sports was driven by a blend of my desire for new challenges and a love for helping others in different capacities. Nursing was a deeply rewarding field where I spent 15 years caring for patients. However, I reached a point where I felt a pull toward exploring new horizons. Equestrian sports, particularly polo, intrigued me because they combined physical challenge with a sense of elegance and camaraderie. It wasn’t just about riding horses—it was about the discipline, teamwork, and empowerment inherent in the sport. 

Samantha Reed: What inspired you to start ParTee’s Ladies Golf line? 

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: The inspiration for ParTee’s Ladies Golf line came from my personal passion for fashion and golf. I’ve always loved golf, but I noticed a lack of stylish, functional attire for female golfers. There was a gap in the market that I wanted to fill—clothes that not only look good but also feel comfortable and perform well on the course. Our launch in October at The Atlanta Fashion and Polo Classic, our annual signature event, is something I’m particularly excited about because it represents the culmination of this vision. 

Samantha Reed: What do you hope ParTee’s Ladies Golf line will achieve in the fashion and sports industries?

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: I hope ParTee’s Ladies Golf line will inspire more women to take up golf and feel stylish and confident while doing so. Fashion and sports often intersect, and I believe this line can show that women can be both athletic and fashionable. By breaking the traditional norms and offering something innovative, I want to empower women to embrace their love for sports without compromising their sense of style.

Samantha Reed: Can you tell us more about your work with at-risk youth through polo?

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: Working with at-risk youth through polo has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my career. We’ve formed polo teams in Georgia and Maryland and partnered with organizations like Best Academy and 100 Black Men to introduce many young people to the sport. It’s not just about teaching them to ride; it’s about providing them with opportunities, introducing them to scholarships, and exposing them to a new world of possibilities. Seeing their growth and enthusiasm is incredibly rewarding.

Samantha Reed: What drives your passion for community empowerment?

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: My passion for community empowerment comes from the values instilled in me by my family and my own life experiences. I’ve always believed in the power of giving back and making a positive impact on others. Seeing the tangible changes in young people’s lives keeps me motivated. Every time I witness a young person light up with excitement about polo or hear about a scholarship they received, I am reminded of why I do what I do. It’s about making a lasting difference and providing them with opportunities they might not have had otherwise.

Samantha Reed: How do you balance your roles as a businesswoman, philanthropist, and fashion icon?

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: Balancing these roles is definitely challenging, but it’s also incredibly fulfilling. I’m fortunate to have a supportive partner in Miguel and a dedicated team that helps bring our visions to life. Effective time management and prioritizing what truly matters are key. My work in fashion, business, and community service are all interconnected, each aspect fueling my passion and drive. It’s about finding synergy between these roles and staying true to my values and goals.

Samantha Reed: What are your future plans and aspirations?

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: Looking ahead, I plan to expand ParTee’s Ladies Golf line and continue our initiatives with Ride to the Olympics. Additionally, I aspire to start a foundation for young teenage mothers, providing them with the support and opportunities they need to build successful futures. My ultimate goal is to continue breaking barriers and inspiring others to follow their dreams. It’s about creating a legacy of empowerment and positive change.

Samantha Reed: Do you have any final thoughts or advice for aspiring individuals?

Chancey Timmons-Wilson: My advice is to follow your passions and never be afraid to take risks. Success is not just about personal achievements but also about the positive impact you can make in the lives of others. Stay true to yourself, work hard, and always give back to your community. That’s where true fulfillment lies.

Chancey Timmons-Wilson’s journey from nursing to becoming a leader in fashion and equestrian sports is a testament to her relentless drive and passion. As she continues to break new ground with ParTee’s Ladies Golf line and her philanthropic efforts, she remains a beacon of inspiration for all those looking to carve their own path and make a difference.
