Haze Barasa, Kenyan-born and Texas-raised, I’m an artist, fashion stylist, and creative visionary who’s been sketching designs since before I could write. I would do my best to convince my mother, my name was in fact Coco Chanel and she reminded me it was Hazel but one day I would be in fact a designer! Despite the pressures of tradition, my progressive upbringing and passionate spirit allowed me to pursue a life rooted in creativity. After battling mental health challenges, rediscovering my purpose, and taking a leap of faith to California with just $600 and a suitcase full of dreams, I launched Haus of Baraza and became not only a fashion stylist and makeup artist, but a speaker and transformation coach. For me, fashion is art, life is expression, and success means using every gift I have to inspire others to chase their boldest, most authentic dreams.
