BIO

Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason started their journey together as high school students, first meeting on an HBCU tour. As newlyweds, the couple founded the lifestyle brand AphroChic, as a celebration of African Diaspora culture. The brand is also a reflection of the couple's backgrounds in social justice and philosophy. Jeanine, a former policy attorney, has aided in creating a meaningful brand that is equal parts lifestyle inspiration and social activism. While Bryan, who holds a masters degree in African Diaspora Studies from UC Berkeley, has crafted new philosophical thought that guides the brand, focused on the Diaspora, its connections, and the individual Black cultural heritages that exist within.

Today, Jeanine and Bryan are working to make AphroChic the first global platform of its kind, creating space for exploration, edification, cultivation, and self-expression for Black communities worldwide. The couple resides in upstate New York at the affectionately dubbed AphroFarm House.
