Cera's passion lies in fostering positive social change through entrepreneurship. She grew up in rural Kenya, her early childhood spent on her grandmother’s farm. All of this changed when at the age of nine, their farm was destroyed in the civil war. She became internally displaced and moved to the slums in Nairobi, where her whole family was crammed in a small one-room home, much of our daily struggles correlated with lack of resources and opportunities. And it was that experience, and the ensuing years, that put her on a path to lift up these communities.

She had the opportunity to study international development and entrepreneurship at UCLA, where she focused on using entrepreneurship as a way to alleviate poverty. She opened a workshop in Nairobi, where they make beautiful bags, canvas, and leather goods. Ecodunia is about creating great bags that do good with a focus on using renewable materials made by small-scale producers. She now runs a brick and mortar store in Chicago and online at Ecodunia.com.

Cera's passion lies in fostering positive social change through entrepreneurship. Ecodunia is more than a business; it's a catalyst for empowering communities and eradicating generational poverty and creating a truly equitable future for all.
