When Forbes set out to feature talented women in business in Africa recently, they discovered Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu and the thriving artisan made shoes of soleRebels. Local hands have been crafting and stitching beautiful designs forever but Bethlehem had a vision that combined artistry with modern shoe making techniques to lift the people of her small Ethiopian town out of poverty. soleRebel shoes are made from local sustainable materials, like hemp and repurposed tires, with ancient arts details. Their unique product rivals big name brands. The better world we all want is created with this kind of dedication to people and the planet!
