Kamia Begay

 In 2019 at age 11, Kamia Begay, a Navajo girl from Shiprock, NM, started a handmade soap business with her family to bring the wonderful sights and smells of the Navajo Nation to the world. Kamia hand-harvests herbs and plants for her products, which now include bar soap, oils, body butter, and wax melts. Just a few years later, there are now 3 Nizhoni Soap Company retail stores: Downtown Farmington, Old Town Albuquerque and Mesa, Arizona.
