You May Be Wondering...
Is Afropenda Black-owned?
Yes. Afropenda is proudly Black-owned.
Founded by Lena — a proud Black woman in her 40s who built this brand because she was tired of settling. After years of working in plus-size fashion and STILL not being able to find clothing that fit her body, honored her culture, and spoke to her faith — she made it herself.
Faith. Culture. Affirmation. FOR us, BY us.
What size should I get?
