MY WHY

Ameela Kerry-Ann Boyd a native of Jamaica, who came to Pittsburgh to continue her studies as a fashion designer, also found her niche as a published author, empowerment stylist, and motivational speaker. She is the proud owner of the ‘FI.WI. KULTURE,’ ‘HEALING DESIGNS’ clothing line and, she also runs her own organization “The Covering LLC”, which empowers and style women from a holistic perspective. She holds her master’s degree in Organizational leadership with a minor in non-profit leadrship, from Robert Morris University, where she will also be pursuing her PH. D. in Instructional Management and Leadership.

However, it did not start there, her journey as she calls it in life, was never an easy one, yet she chose to embrace every bit of it because it cultivated the resilient, buoyant and empowered woman she is today. She was a domestic violence victim and a homeless mother with two kids, with no family or friend support, and those experiences led her to change her entire perspective on life. Wanting to help women who went or is about to go through what she did, Ameela decided to share her story and experiences. With the intent of helping other women in finding their own voice, to equally empower others while sharing their own. She firmly believes that each one helps one through their personal testimonies. While completing her bachelor’s degree in fashion design at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Ameela decided to merge her entire expertise, struggles and faith to bring her vision to fruition. Her dream was and is, to adorn women not only from a physical perspective but also psychologically.

From that 'Healing Designs' was created to accomplish apart of the vision “To empower and adorn women from the inside out absolutely free.” Even though The Covering is a for profit organization, Healing Designs offers services absolutely free to women who are struggling with self and life, who has encountered domestic violence or some form of addiction, but is fighting to make their lives better. This includes garment specifically designed and made for them, counselling and consultation where needed and a night out absolutely free. This service does not fix everything but it’s a start.

The Covering strives to be a spectacular and holistic agency that dears to be multifaceted and different. Ameela firmly believes, if the inner being is well, it’s guaranteed that the outer being will glow and, that’s what ‘The Covering’ mandate stands behind. She empowers, motivates and adorns from the inside out, to garner and generate the greatest results of one ‘self’.
