“I love the challenge of taking something that someone thought was worth discarding and making it beautiful.”That desire to fashion beauty from repurposed materials drew Penn Iarocci to co-create the Epiphany Brand in 2019 and keeps her there today.

Throughout Dr. Sophia Omoro’s childhood in Kenya, heads would turn when her family walked into church. That’s because her mother, a talented seamstress, kept the children impeccably dressed. Inheriting her mother’s style sense and her father’s faith in education as the road out of poverty, Omoro dreamed of becoming a doctor.
