The short answer

Serita Jakes wears Sai Sankoh on the stages that matter most to her. She has worn our Nessa shirt dress at the Women's COGIC Convention, our Emilia blouse preaching at The Potter's House of Dallas, our Pink Colette set on stage with her daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts, and our ocean blue print in Orlando, shared on her verified Instagram. Most of these pieces are still available. See each look below and shop the exact pieces.

Who she is

Serita Jakes is an author, speaker, and the First Lady of The Potter's House, alongside her husband, Bishop T.D. Jakes. She is also the mother of Sarah Jakes Roberts, the founder of Woman Evolve. Two generations of women who lead, both in Sai Sankoh. When a First Lady wears a piece on her own stage, again and again, that is the highest kind of proof a brand can have.

The looks she has worn

Every look below is a real piece she wore in public, and most are still available to shop.

The Nessa shirt dress, at the Women's COGIC Convention

A silk floral shirt dress in coral, pink, and gold, worn at the Women's COGIC Convention in Orlando. It is the kind of print that reads across a full ballroom.

Shop the look: Nessa Shirt Dress, or pair it with the Nessa Pants.

The Emilia blouse, at The Potter's House of Dallas

A green and cream floral blouse with dramatic bell sleeves, worn preaching from the stage of The Potter's House of Dallas. Covered, moving, and striking at once.

Shop the look: Emilia Blouse.

The Pink Colette set, on stage with her daughter

A coral Colette duster and matching pants, worn on an arena stage beside her daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts. A mother-and-daughter faith moment, both in Sai Sankoh.

Shop the look: Pink Colette Duster and Pink Colette Pants.

The ocean blue print, in Orlando

A blue and white ocean print, all ruffles and movement, worn as a custom dress over our Blue Ocean printed pants and shared on her verified Instagram in April 2025.

Shop the look: Blue Ocean Printed Pants. The dress was custom, and the Metallic Blue Selma ruffle dress gives you the same ruffled drama. These same Blue Ocean printed pants have also been worn by Kelly Rowland and Porsha Williams. One print, a First Lady, a pop star, and a reality star. That is the range of a piece this good.

Why these looks work for a First Lady

A First Lady has the hardest brief in any room. She has to be covered and modest for the setting, comfortable enough to sit, stand, and worship for hours, and striking enough that a congregation and a camera both remember her. Color and coverage have to work together.

Sai Sankoh was built for exactly that. The drape and the sleeves keep everything modest and moving, so she can raise her hands or take the stage without a single adjustment. The prints carry from the front row to the back balcony. And nothing grips or pinches through a long service. That is why the pieces land on her stage, look after look.
