We are pleased to announce the addition of Debbie Farah, founder and CEO of Bajalia, as a keynote speaker for the 2013 Believers in Business Conference!
Debbie Farah is a social entrepreneur, fashionista, design collaborator and partner to entrepreneurs globally. As a Palestinian American she is keenly aware of violence to women and justice issues which prompted her passion to assist women globally. She is the CEO and founder of Bajalia International Group and Bajalia Trading Company (www.bajalia.com). The two companies are a collaboration of for-profit and non-profit based in Winter Park, Florida and working in 22 countries around the globe. Bajalia designs and distributes designer quality products assisting women globally to compete in an international market and become self-sustaining. Over 75% of the international companies and workforce is composed of women in emerging economies. While the for-profit arm leads sales and marketing efforts, the non-profit arm excels in entrepreneurial training and development workshops while incubating businesses. On March 8 2011, International Women’s Day, Bajalia launched a handcrafted jewelry line on HSN and is currently marketing products through that channel as well through a retail store on Park Avenue in Winter Park Florida and through a web presence. Before founding Bajalia, Ms. Farah served in executive advertising and design roles at Dell, Rapp Collins, Neiman Marcus, and Turner Broadcasting. In March of 2011, Ms. Farah was selected by Newsweek and The Daily Beast as one of the “150 Women Who Shake The World”.
