ymib.com - Daily Inspiration

Hello ymib ladies! So, I think I have found one of the many women that we as creative beings can gain pure creative inspiration from. Her name is Cozbi Cabrera and she exudes creativity. I actually ran across her fabulous Country Living interview as I was chatting it up with the lovely Kiandra of Que Jimenez about doll making and the lack thereof of handmade African/Multicultural inspired dolls(psst...you can read more about Kiandras dolls here).

I am beyond inspired when I come across women, especially our Sisters, who carry such great passion and talent for textiles, art, and design; and I could not wait to feature her beauty here in the Circle! I also ran across this fabulous video courtesy of Nichelle of 55 Secret Street which accompanies her mini interview with Cozbi!

“Cozbi A. Cabrera loves to discover, create and share pockets of grace and beauty. Trained as an art director, this Parsons graduate left creating music packaging to make handmade collectible cloth dolls or Muñecas, meaning dolls in Spanish, in honor of her Honduran heritage. She opened and runs a retail shop in Carroll Gardens Brooklyn selling her one-of-a-kind creations and an expanded product line that now includes women and children’s clothing, accessories and quilts -- all made in Brooklyn. Cozbi also illustrates children’s books. If you’re ever in town, you’re invited to swing on by.” -cozbi.com

Cozbi does it all and I give her great respect for being such an inspiration and one who we can all look up to as we make our creative dreams come true! Be sure to check her out amongst many other creative women in Country Livings Crafting a Business: Make Money Doing What You Love. Thank you Cozbi!
