We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mourdjana Batcha. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mourdjana below.

Mourdjana , appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.

My goal is to bridge the gap in the fashion industry by creating a safe process for meeting people’s needs. I am providing customized garments to help people with their style preferences. Regardless of their size, and ethnicity. I aim to empower people to feel their best and confident in my collections.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is, Mourdjana Batcha!
Creator, Fashion Designer, CEO, Founder, M.J Queen Beauty & Fashion.

M.J Queen Beauty & Fashion was created in 2011, by Mourdjana Batcha, with a focus on designing impeccable, custom-made African clothes. With humble beginnings, I started in my home with very minimal means, but with a powerful vision. I was determined to, one day, successfully curate events that focus on bringing every individual a superior fashion shopping experience. It would prove to be a labor of love for me)

In 2017, I officially opened the doors to M.J Queen Beauty & Fashion, LLC servicing the fashion needs of women, men, and children in the Midwest, Omaha, Nebraska ( United States). M.J Queen Beauty & Fashion is located at the Village Shopping Center at 3032 North 90th Street. Omaha, NE.
With the rapid growth, due to the high demands for African fashion modern wear, and to create a great shopping experience for my customers, M.J Queen Beauty & Fashion was later expanded to a better and bigger space. It now offers African and European bridal gowns, prom wear, men’s tuxedos, formal wear, and more—all handcrafted, and made with love. The shop is the go-to fashion boutique for people of all shapes, and sizes, to enhance their wardrobe for every occasion.
Our Mission,

My Why?
We strive to transform as many people’s lives as we can by assisting them in redefining their day-to-day fashion choices. Creating customized garments for men, women, and children. One garment = one confidence at a time.

My Company’s Values
are centered around the idea that
“We just don’t design for our clients, we design with them every step of the way.” We understand that custom-designed garments can be an overwhelming, and emotional experience. So, working closely with our clients helps to establish a sense of trust, and also instills confidence in their decision-making. A happy client is A Win-Win on both ends

Do you have any stories of times when you almost missed payroll or any other near death experiences for your business?

Between 2021- and 2022 we had backed up unpaid invoices, for a few months, everything stopped except the payroll! employees still work so they need to get paid. We had to be smart. Things outside of the book! We came up with a short-term solution to generate some income to cover payrolls and rent.

Have you ever had to pivot?

In late 2022, I experienced a life-changing moment when I was in a car accident that resulted in a total loss. Despite the challenges, this experience provided me with a new perspective and vision for my business. It felt like I was both cursed and blessed at the same time.
