8. Why are you using sewing metaphors? Is this about fashion or storytelling?

   - It's about both. There is not much difference between fashion and storytelling, as Minista Jazz, the founder of the Storiverse, discovered. When learning to sew in the world of fashion, her storytelling sensibilities came alive. It was during her time at the sewing machine that the universe of stories, the Storiverse, was born. 

With every garment that she sewed, stories formed in her head. From the patterns to the buttons, the threads to the pins, they spoke of ideas and memories, and expression; the fabric was communicating a message. Just as a carefully crafted garment can inspire those who wear it, stories bring to life ideas, thoughts, feelings, and emotions. 

​

Minista Jazz aims to blend these worlds and tell a grand story of life, community, and love. The sewing metaphors are more than mere imagery; they represent the essential fabric of her storytelling approach, weaving together elements that define us as individuals and connect us as a community. Her work is a beautiful tapestry where every stitch adds depth, every thread connects, and every pattern tells a part of a larger story.
