As founder of the Lavender by Aj initiative my goal has been to teach a group of underprivileged children those who in treated in learning about crochet in order to empower on how to create certain items in order to make them money for them to put into their education and things that might help them for their future as well as give them an entrepreneurial stance on how exactly to market and sell their own products by teaching them a lifelong skill that can help them get there which is the handcrafted artistry especially since crochet is one that cannot be done by machine only knitting can be done by machine which is why crochet is such a valuable form of artistry to do by hand which could really take them places if able to market and sell well which is why I am using my platform to do that for them. I also sell my own handmade products alongside another peer to utilise that money earned to give back to underprivileged girls and women .
