braisha owens mount
Braisha Owens-Mount, known as Bo, is the founder and creative director of Kissed by Bo,
a couture fashion house where style and self-care intersect. As a designer, stylist, creative entrepreneur, wife, and mother, she has built her brand on the belief that fashion is more
than appearance — it is identity, healing, and personal expression.
Through her work, Braisha pioneers the concept of fashion wellness, emphasizing that clothing alone cannot create confidence — it must first exist within. She teaches women
how personal style can support and reflect self-assurance rather than replace it. Her designs are shaped by her styling approach, understanding the female body and thoughtfully highlighting, enhancing, and balancing each woman’s natural features. Recognized for their hand-painted artistry and intentional storytelling, her pieces function not only as garments, but as wearable affirmations of individuality and empowerment.
Braisha is also the host of the Ask Me: Wife, Mom, Designer = God Podcast, where she leads honest conversations about motherhood, faith, creativity, personal growth, and the realities women face while balancing purpose and responsibility.
Through Haus of Bo and the social enterprise The Paper Bag Chronicles, she speaks on mental health, body image, self-worth, and holistic wellness — particularly within creative and professional environments. Her Corporate Couture and Fashion Wellness Initiative programs help women and organizations rethink professional presence, guiding participants to develop authentic confidence and personal style in the workplace.
Known for her candid, relatable, and transformative speaking style, Braisha connects storytelling, faith, and practical strategy to help audiences rediscover themselves beyond roles, expectations, and titles.
Her message is simple but powerful: confidence is not something you put on — it is something you uncover.
Braisha speaks to conferences, universities, corporations, women’s organizations, and creative communities on topics including identity, self-image, purpose, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the emotional power of personal style.
