New About Nroda /. Nroda Heritage
Nroda was born out of the need to stand out, yet be one of the fashion kids. I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. I am also born to Jamaican parents. Between the influences of NY fashion and Jamaican style and affinity for adornment: jewelry, hair, nails you name it I have always been obsessed with style.
So when I moved back to NYC after college, I sought to express myself creatively in my fashion choices in the fashion scene as a magazine fashion assistant. Reporting on the head turning looks that strangers wore at events was my beat and looking just as eye-catching gave me the confidence I needed to approach them for a chance to photograph them as a street style feature.
Nroda began as a jewelry line and developed into a sunglasses line that was literally, the jewelry component I had put on sunglasses I had. When I realized I really enjoyed creating and wearing the pieces, I made more. I began to sell them on a site. Then in other stores, festivals and brand sites. Then celebs and bloggers took notice too and the rest is history.
Nroda mission is to empower you to be the person you want to feel like you need to be to show up powerfully in any room you walk into.
