The “faith gear collection” is inspired by her hit singles, “You Will Win,” and “My Portion.” Her next goal is to release royal inspired clothing.

Speaking from Memphis in the United States of America (USA), the gifted 26-year-old musician said:
One thing I have always been about is having the attire and the look of a Queen. Not just having the mentality of a Queen, but also looking like one. So, in my fashion line, I think that is what you will get [the look of a Queen]. You will get a lot of classy pieces. My desire and goal are to create fashion looks for all age brackets.
The international telephonic interview was conducted a few years before Carr performed in South Africa.
"Almost everything that I wear is my design. I am currently preparing to launch my fashion line, and I already have a T-shirt line available. I have always been into fashion, and I have always envisioned owning a fashion line. Everything has to happen at the right time – the timing of God. We are about to establish our second fashion line, and I am really excited about that,” said Carr.

She further elucidated:
I tell people all the time, if God knew that I would not be able to handle it, He would not have given me these gifts. So, it is a blessing to be able to share my gifts with the world and be a blessing to people all across the world and God has given me the grace to be able to do it.
Her journey as a Gospel artist began at the age of five. But God called her to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the age of 13. At that age, she shared a stage with world acclaimed, Televangelist Benny Hinn, who prophesied that she will be known worldwide. Indeed, her life testifies to that prophesy as she has performed and ministered in different parts of the world.
