ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Maskarade LLC Founder & CEO Ms. Andraya deCo’rdova a.k.a Draya Blanco announced her having found partners during the pandemic through a social audio application in the least expected of locations: Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Ms. deCo’rdova said she was honored to have received not just Equity Shareholders & Partners but what she had long needed: a family. Having seen multiple trials & tribulations as a homeless single mom with 2 children living in a car whilst making food and grocery deliveries, working at an airline, juggling multiple shifts at a call center where she thought of her idea, and turned it into a company: a mask that with a flap could protect individuals whilst providing the comfort of day to day living without needing multiple removals for basic functions of eating & drinking.
Ms deCo’rdova said, "I want to take this moment to thank everyone who stood by me and supported me in my journey, particularly one individual. Our idea at Maskarade is to lead into the health fashion industry beginning with masks as an accessory to day to day wear with ease and comfort as a flagship product expanding into different garments and then the cross vertical between integrating wearables and smart technology to assist the consumers’ health and wellness journey too. With the right foundation, partners, business model and growth capital I see this as the long- term objective. Can we do it? As my partners say – there’s only one way to find out: do it."
