Mary Mbiya has held various positions in the financial services industry since 1999 and recently worked in the automotive industry. Since 2017, she has worked in different capacities leading
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. She has always had a love for fashion but, one of the things that she noticed, was that most department stores did not carry African-inspired collections.

 

Born and raised in Zambia, Mbiya has been inspired by the beauty and talent of African culture, she is determined to bring visibility to the contemporary collection of African-inspired fashion and talent. People speak and express themselves with fashion and it is her hope that ‘The Mbiya Collection,’ will be seen as a global extension of expression and authenticity.

 

Mbiya will also be socially responsible with this brand, bringing others along and empowering them in their entrepreneurship journey. She is determined to help those that least expect it, and sometimes present but, so often not seen!
