Not long after my daughter's birth, I was listening to an interview with Dr Terarai Trent one morning on my way to work.
Social entrepreneur, award winning author, Oprah’s all time favourite guest – she spoke of how she was married at eleven, and had given birth to four children by 18. However, one didn’t survive ‘because I failed to produce enough breastmilk’.
The privilege of my position overwhelmed me.
That morning seeded my dream to create a ‘global village’ – which has evolved into Her Hands today, where our customers can buy beautiful pieces for their homes that support another mum from a vulnerable population to provide for her children.
But what took me by surprise is just how much love you really can feel in each of these artisans' handmade pieces.
Her Hands has become so much more than just pursuing a purpose....
I feel so honoured to be able to share these talented women's crafts with you, and so lucky to have found such beautiful customers who love their work as much as I do.
