Mayana isn’t just about clothes; it’s about community, advocacy, and showing up for each other. I wanted to build a space where we can have the real conversations—the ones about bodies, birth, and all the things we’re told to keep quiet about. Because we deserve better.
We are living in a time where our voice is our power but women are still afraid to use it - this tells us we are not really free - while we have made some advancements, true liberation comes from understanding how all of these issues are interconnected and actively work towards dismantling them TOGETHER.
