Before Shine, Jessica sat down with Cherry (Ethiopia) and Jalia (Uganda) to learn more about their personal journeys towards owning their identities as women business owners - and how that ownership has empowered them to help other women own their worth. In this conversation, you’ll hear some powerful stories about the Artisans who make our collection - from a mother of two children with special needs in Ethiopia to a woman who learned she had the courage to escape an abusive marriage in Uganda. Learn more about Cherry and Jalia’s stories by searching their names on Flourish, the Noonday Collection blog.
