Karla works in the arts and culture sector as the CEO of AFREEKANSOUL. For Afro-descendant women and men who are looking for haircare solutions, AFREEKANSOUL provides products that meet the needs of afro hair, including creams, oils, moisturizing treatments, scarves, and kanekalon hair extensions, as well as products for those with braided hairstyles. Karla aims to complete the company's administrative and financial structure to permit expansion in the short term and ultimately achieve a social development impact on the Afro-descendant community of Guatemala. Coming into the YLAI Fellowship, Karla’s top business challenge is Finance. More specifically, they want to remove financial management barriers and expand their business ties to bring quality products to their clients. During the Fellowship Placement, Karla hopes to gain experience and knowledge that will be useful for the development and expansion of their AFREEKANSOUL.
