Almost every year there seems to be contestants from The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation that make it to being semi-finalists in Pow Wow Pitch and this year again is no exception. Indigenous entrepreneur from The Pas, Desiree Streit, created a new product as part of her business that will help beaders to bead anywhere they like.
“I started friday.night.beading.club in November, because I had this idea that I wanted to sell some of my beadwork and share some of my work on Instagram too, but wanted to keep it separate from my other work,” said Streit. “I wanted to design and launch my BOO-zhee Board and friday.night.beading.club was a platform to do this from.”
Desiree’s BOO-zhee Board makes beading accessible to everyone, where ever they are. The BOO-zhee Board is a beading board with a lid that comes on and off, allowing one to access their beading supplies instantaneously, with no set up required. It allows beaders to take their beading projects on the go, without spilling beads or needing to space to spread things out.
