I had the pleasure of chatting with Jennifer Weston and Haley from Joffa, a global organization that’s truly redefining what it means to support artisans. You’ll hear how Joffa not only helps artisans by providing a marketplace for their beautiful creations but also takes care of the marketing and logistics, allowing these incredible individuals to focus on what they do best.
