Pearlita is an experienced creative designer who works in the Artisan Products sector, leading La Vie Guyana and carving a niche for ready-made clothing in the Guyanese fashion industry. Coming into the YLAI Fellowship, Pearlita’s top business challenge is finance. During the host placement, this fellow hopes to learn how to employ the right principles in the company and brand, hire the right people, and create the right products and environment to have a lasting positive impact on the lives of women, whether they are employees, customers, or beneficiaries of the community.
