1000 Words: AfriDally

Dear Pennies and Pens,

As you all know, a picture is worth a thousand words. So we’ll let the photos do the talking. With no further adieu, we present 1000 Words: AfriDally.

About Mory Jay by Memory Jora:

Mory Jay celebrates the modern African woman and bridges the gap between culture and  fashion with the rest of the world. Mory Jay was launched in June 2017 by Memory Jora, who is also the Creative Designer of the brand.  Memory is a former accountant originally from Zimbabwe, who left the business world to pursue her love and passion for fashion.

Becoming a fashion designer and creating her own brand was always a long life dream of hers. While she was still in high school, back in Zimbabwe, and drawing fashion sketches for her classmates and friends. She decided that she needed to come up with a unique name for herself that she would use as a signature on all her sketches. She and her friends agreed on the name  “MoryJay” a play on letters of her first name and last name. From then on the name stuck, and thus a brand name was created.
