NITA Collection ACT I

The inspiration comes from the UBUNTU philosophy.
4 years ago, I had a beautiful conversation with Maryse, the founder of Asantii. She told me about the "Pink Ubuntu Social Program" and explained the concept of UBUNTU. She then said something that has stayed with me; she said, "I'm not a self made person, I am because someone else is".

I don't know why that phrase stuck with me, but it made me question my perception about my relationships and inspired me to be more intentional with those around me.

I like to tell my friends that we are in each other's lives so that we can be a blessing to each other.
Nana's connected hoops symbolize the connection, the sharing and also the empowerment of a community, because ultimately, I am because you are and everything is connected.

The Moon is our inspiration. As we know, the female cycle is synchronized with the moon, and at each stage of our cycle, we are in a different mood, we have different emotions that also influence our self-perception and our clothing choices. We dress according to how we feel inside, which is a way of listening to and caring for ourselves.  

Luna earrings were designed to celebrate the beautiful nature of womanhood.

We believe that jewelry is not binary and can be used to highlight our femininity and/or masculinity in a way that shows the variety of identities and energies present in each individual.

Each person draws inspiration from the other, creating a new form of expression and a new way of presenting ourselves.

Juzi was designed by my sister, whose name is Nita.

I named the collection after her because she is in tune with her femininity and she is authentic to her true self. You will see more of her design in NITA ACT II.
