Tune in TODAY @ noon EST for our next episode of Magic of Their Hands: Kenya Series 🇰🇪

We are celebrating women artisan leaders whose heritage craftsmanship doesn’t just preserve culture, it propels it forward.

Across the world, women are shaping the future of design through mastery passed down like treasure, transforming ancient techniques into work that feels timeless, modern, and deeply alive.

We journey to Kenya to spotlight Salma Lekoomet, product developer of ✨A remarkable collective of talented women artisans specializing in handcrafted beadwork and leather products. Formed to create sustainable income and promote traditional craftsmanship, this group has grown into a powerhouse of skill and production capacity for both local and international markets.

Together, we explore how heritage craft moves from the hands of artisans to the global stage, sharing history through every single stitch and bead.

This is the series where she takes you inside all of it. Design, the way it was always meant to be done.
