Trained as a biologist, she later studied agriculture in New York before returning home with a vision to transform cycles of poverty into circles of prosperity. After witnessing firsthand the struggles of families in refugee camps and rural villages, she founded Wakami, named after the Kaqchikel Maya word for “it already is.” Wakami connects rural artisans, most of them women, with global markets, creating income opportunities that improve nutrition, education, and stability for more than 500 families. At its heart, Wakami is both a design brand and a social system, producing handmade jewelry that symbolizes dreams, hope, and unity. Each piece carries the spirit of collaboration and the belief that individual dreams are powerful, but collective dreams are unstoppable, offering wearers a meaningful connection to purpose and possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: This Handcrafted Leather Braided Pendant Bracelet from Guatemala 'Red Point' by Independent Artisans is a stylish and meaningful accessory.
