About me / About business or organisation:

SsekoDesigns.com creates beautiful leather sandals and bags in East Africa to provide jobs and scholarship opportunities for young women who desire to go to college.They are paid a fair trade wage and offered a scholarship match at the end of their employment, then go off to college to pursue their dreams.
Our Sandals are unique featuring a leather sole with 5 anchor points where fabric straps can be weaved through. This type of unique design leads for endless styling and tying possibilites. One sole can create hundreds of different types of sandal looks, cutting down on waste. We invite our Sseko customers to be co-creators as they style and tie their Sseko Sandals.

Career history / Company history:

I've worked in product consumer marketing for my career and have always been curious in the intersection of business and social impact. How could businesses make a social impact? How would you market a product that is making a social impact? Then I found Sseko while living in Africa and it's been the perfect fit for me.
