Khadija works in the Artisan Products sector leading Kaj Expressions Ltd. The fellow is a professional jewelry designer who recently pivoted into the digital course industry to teach small business owners how to grow their businesses. For their handmade jewelry, customers are middle-to high-income women who want to feel confident and beautiful. They are also the first lionfish jewelry creators in Belize and the entire Caribbean. Customers of the digital course are small business owners who need help streamlining their business and learning how to increase their revenue. This service is unique because there is no other company in Belize offering these products and services. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Khadija’s top business challenge is Finance.
