Janice Ibarra
Founder
Hi, my name is Janice (pronounced Ja-niece) aka Nasty Muva/J-Nasty. I’m loving life on the East Coast! I spent some time in Miami, and now I’ve found my way to the DMV.
Currently, I’m earning my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design while also homeschooling my first grader—she’s thriving as a big sister, and together we enjoy live streaming our video games.
I’m grateful to share my gifts and talents as a wedding coordinator and event planner with BOMU. In the Akan language of Ghana (Twi), bo mu means “to bring together.” Bringing people together to celebrate life’s most cherished moments is my destiny, and it inspires everything I do.
Amanya Maloba
Founder
Hey, I'm Amanya aka Kenya Ku$h! I am a writer, producer, and creative director with focus on holistic health, plant-based medicine, style and fashion, tech, and literature.
Over the past few years, I’ve been working as a signed commercial and print model in LA, with the privilege of working with brands and artists that I admire. During the pandemic I became certified as a full spectrum doula and have since then assisted many families through pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum support. I have also joined TakeOne Edibles, a startup, infused edible cookie dough company based in Oklahoma, as Creative Director. In my most important role, I’ve spent the last 5 years mothering my daughter, and teaching her everything I possibly can.
As a mother and a storyteller I am invested in creating stories through words, images, and video, that evoke strength, beauty, and action.
Vanity Brown
Partner
Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Brown! That’s right, Mrs. Brown; wife, mother of two, and now, an LA local. It feels as though so much of myself has evolved, but over the course of time, some things never change. For instance, I’m still working as a community organizer. For the last two years, I’ve been working for Special Service for Groups, a Non Profit in Los Angeles that works to rehouse those who are homeless, help formerly incarcerated people back into the workforce, and assist the community to access behavioral health services.
Prior to allll that, your girl was traveling, growing babies, growing within myself, and basically, just living my air sign life to the absolute fullest. Floating through time and space for the sake of creating a beautiful reality I can feel safe and proud of. Does that reality exist? Yes. Have I achieved it? Stay tuned--
