Connections, advice, education, methods of commodity pricing transparency, and women interested in working with women in Vietnam.
About me / About business or organisation:
I am living in Dalat, Vietnam with my husband, who is half-Vietnamese and a coffee professional. I hope to cultivate relationships with women working in textile production near the coffee plantations he'll be working with. My goal is to provide weaving, manufacturing, dyeing and embroidery collectives with sustainable revenue while producing clothing and textile items that connect consumes with the people who make them.
Career history / Company history:
I have a Master's in Public Administration from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, where I studied non-profit development, governance, and sustainable entrepreneurship. I worked as a researcher for state government before moving to Vietnam to start my own clothing business. I am a musician and coffee nerd, and I married a coffee roaster guitarist.

I own my own business called Project Sierra Leone and I work with artisans (mostly women) in Sierra Leone, West Africa who make all our products for us. We also make woven cloth so I will be interested to learn more about the women you are working with in Vietnam.
