One on One with owner of Jesus Girl Closet

 Dora Obwaka, owner of Jesus Girl Closet.

Dora Obwaka is a multi-talented artist, entrepreneur, and owner of the fashion line Jesus Girl Closet. She reveals she wants everyone to dress and feel good about themselves with her freshly empowering, affordable, and body-positive clothing line.

1. Jesus Girl Closet, how did you decide to venture into fashion?

 I am generally creative, and I love expressing myself by creating. I already create content, create music, and so creating fashion statements was a natural next.

 2. Why fashion specifically?

I’ve always loved fashion ever since I was a young girl. So I’ve always known it would be a venture. I was just waiting for the right time. That time is now.

3. What is the inspiration behind your apparel’s designs?

I have always been in love with Ankara as well as millennial design, so I’m finding a way to balance the two. It’s a 21st-century design with heritage.

4. How about the inspiration behind your personal wardrobe?

My personal wardrobe is what Jesus Girl Closet pieces embody. That is sassy, stylish statement pieces that are very functional and can be used for multipurpose.

5. Your clothing line is very inclusive, size and gender-wise, from plus size to men’s wear. Is this intentional?

Yes! Very intentional. Everyone deserves to look and feel good!

6. How has the global pandemic affected your hustle, especially since we can’t go out and dress up as much?

Well, operating online under the page @jesusgirlcloset has its perks, and one of them is reaching people far and wide without physical interaction. In light of this, we have had the benefit of not being limited as such.
