| Yea - me modeling an apron |
Gary from World ORT introduced me to an amazing Liberian woman by the name of Elfreyda Mayson. Absolutely an amazing woman - she was lucky enough and privileged enough to "escape" Liberia during the days of Samuel Doe. She left with her husband, an OBGYN, and her children. Her husband has a successful practice in America - and her children are all graduates of American Universities.

Elfreyda, with her degrees in business and interior design, and with the support of her family, has returned to Liberia and started an enterprise, Jola House - you can read about her organization at their austere website:
Jola House Creations
She is an amazing woman doing amazing work - I surely will be telling more about Jola House as I have agreed to help her with PR and Marketing- but for now I wanted to post some images of the hand dyed and hand made products Elfreyda is teaching her apprentices along with business management and professionalism.

I need to call Elfreyda and check in on her open house this weekend - I promised to help her.
So here are some of the items available. I plan on helping her sell them in America - so get your check books ready - there is a resource for Elfreyda to ship her items with the help of the Liberian Government!

Hey Michael! Do you think that Elfreyda would wholesale her products at one time? Or just have a price list at some point - and I can pass it along to the museum store director. This is the kind of thing she loves and if we're in a need for African items, these just might work. :) Gorgeous stuff and good find!
