‘Poiema of Grace’ was born from what I thought in that moment to be a “void” in Christian Apparel. I say thought to be a void, because as it turns out there are MANY other Christian brands doing absolutely wonderful things and designing really neat stuff, but I personally wasn’t aware. I am just happy I could join the movement, and help in this goal of designing clothes that spread the Gospel and shares our Christian faith.  

The name is inspired by Ephesians 2:10, which states we are “His workmanship (or POIEMA which is the Greek translation) created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” So “Poiema” because that is how God describes us and “of Grace” because it is through His grace alone that we are as He says.  

My background is in fashion merchandising and retail. My whole life, I have loved to draw and been creative in that way. I decided to put my God-given gifts and ability to good use toward creating a clothing line that would share the Good News in a stylish way! Looking back on my life actually, I realize that God has been preparing me for this!! 

Since I started the brand, I have had great positive responses and testimonies from other Christians. One particular customer said I inspired her to open up her own business, while others have sent me emails relating their stories of how them wearing a particular item created a door of opportunity for them to have a conversation about Jesus with others!  

Only the Holy Spirit knows where He wants me to take this brand and I just pray to have the strength, boldness and ability to listen and respond to His calling.  Ultimately, this is an amazing blessing and opportunity for me to share my faith in a very hostile and uncertain world. I pray that others are blessed and in turn can bless others with the apparel.  

My name is Julie and I am the founder of the brand. In the future, my goal is to be able to fund mission trips across different churches to continue educating people about the Word of God. If feasible I currently do pop ups with churches that will have me and I take some apparel to sell of which I tithe 10% back to that particular church for having me. I am based out of Miami, fl. Please follow us on Instagram @poiemaofgrace or you can always email me if you have any questions or comments to: info@poiemaofgrace.com

God bless you all!  

Thank you!
