Jazman and Kacy are the owners of Eli Nelly Apparel. They met after Kacy's flight back to Chicago was delayed four times. The stars clearly aligned for them to find each other in Dallas, and they have proven to be perfect for each other ever since. They inspire and motivate each other constantly and it's their shared values and beliefs in making everything Beyond Ordinary that led to the creation of Eli Nelly Apparel.
Eli Nelly began as a photography company in Chicago, IL. Kacy Elizondo Connelly chose the name Eli Nelly to pay tribute to her parents and grandparents who made her the woman she is today. While her girlfriend, Jazman, was creating a logo for the budding photography company, she was so inspired by the name, she wanted to build a brand around it.
Together, they began Eli Nelly Apparel, a clothing company that specializes in creating casual, comfortable clothes that allow people from all walks of life to express that they are Beyond Ordinary.

Kacy chose the name Eli Nelly to represent the values her family instilled in her: taking care of people, respecting everyone, thinking outside of yourself, embracing individuality, working hard for the things you want, and so much more. Eli Nelly Apparel brings those values to life with clothing that showcases our own interests and beliefs.
Kacy and Jazman also showcase their values in their own lives. They serve their communities as a nurse and a teacher, respectively, and hope Eli Nelly affords them opportunities to make an even bigger impact on their community.
Eli Nelly Apparel proudly donates $1 per every item sold to Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).
