Americas, Dominica, Health, 2022

Elenie works in the Health sector leading Kings Tresses and is a self-taught hairstylist who, unable to afford school and gain qualifications for higher-paying jobs, had to fall back on her hairdressing skills. The products and services used include natural oils and remedies to promote healthy hair and skin. The business is unique because the use of natural products and remedies addresses the mental and physical needs of customers and provides a therapeutic experience, and Elenie takes pride in her work and business. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Elenie’s top business challenge is Finance.
