Kamilla Fayz is the founder of Ikat Wear was raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where she learned the art of haggling from her mother. However, she had a "confusing" childhood because of the influence of her two grandmothers. At 16 years old, she won an exchange student scholarship that brought her to Farmersville, Texas. Despite that it didn’t match her expectations of what America looks like, there she learned there are other things that women can do. Despite not being good with kids, she is raising two American daughters where she struggles to find the balance which cultures, she will impart to them.
We also talked about her battle with immigrant insecurity, the inspiration behind Ikat Wear, the cultural appropriation of Ikat, and her involvement with "Cultural Homestay international" an organization that hosts exchange students.
