Founder
Maryam
Maryam learned early how different life feels when you have the freedom to dream out loud. True fulfillment, she realized, comes from building something you love not just something you earn. Creating had always been her quiet strength. And when she finally followed it, she saw clearly: her dream and her mother’s were always the same.
Today, she moves with one belief:
A woman’s dreams aren’t meant to stay quiet. They’re meant to be shaped, shared, and lived with heart.
Co-Founder
Hoda
Hoda left behind everything she had built and more painfully, her family. She poured her whole life into two suitcases and came to Canada. For years, she put herself second, creating a life where her daughters could grow freely and become whoever they chose to be. At 55, after they found their own paths, she turned back to her first love, creativity!
She taught her daughters not to limit themselves to one path to learn whatever they could, because you never know which skill will make the difference. The name Honarbari means “the home of artistry.”
Inspiration
Noshafarin
Cyra was born decades ago, in the hands and heart of Nooshafrin Yazdani a woman who believed that craftsmanship, independence, and strength could be stitched together by thread. Married at 20, and by 25 in 1956 Iran, she opened her own sewing and tailoring center at a time when women were expected to stay silent.
She taught:
“A woman must have education, work experience, and the ability to stand on her own feet.”
Story That Reached the Papers
she challenged the idea that a woman’s role ended at home:
“We must not limit a woman to the home alone. A society cannot rise if half of it is kept silent.”
Her courage led to a feature in national newspapers a rare and powerful moment for a woman of her time. She passed down her knowledge and her mindset through her daughter Hoda, and later, her granddaughter Maryam.Today, Cyra is the continuation of her spirit.
