Coretta Owusu L’14, founder and creative designer of Design Dua, works with traditional basket weavers in Ghana to make and sell a variety of handwoven bassinets, changing baskets for infants, and dog beds made from the native elephant grass. A lawyer, advocate, and entrepreneur, Coretta created the company to help sustain West African artisans. . “Our artisan crafts should not be marketed as charitable goods, but as beautiful handmade commercial items. Our artisans won’t need hand outs if they are given a fair opportunity. The average basket weaver can make more than Ghana’s minimum wage, if producing baskets at a fair wage,” she explained in 2016. #pennlaw #pennlawalumni #pennlawalumniprofiles
