Born-O Uniforms
When I started as a nurse, I’d feel like I was gambling every time I purchased a new set of scrubs; it seemed that many companies’ products were designed by individuals that never actually used their own products. When I find new items for our inventory, I ask myself: “Is this something I’d feel comfortable wearing on a long shift?" - Elisabeth Borno, CEO & Co-Founder

D'IYANU
"I was six years old when my family moved from Nigeria to the US. The transition was difficult, as I struggled to fit in.

Fashion became my form of self-expression and empowerment, especially in college, where my love for community and African culture bloomed." - Addie Elabor, CEO and Founder
