Kubra Alhilali is an Iraqi-American artist who incorporates her native language, Arabic, into her amazing art.
We are excited to share that Kubra Alhilali, owner of Kubra Kulshi & Kalashi, is the featured female entrepreneur at Finders Keepers Corner this month! Finders Keepers Corner is a home decor and consignment store located in Berea, Ohio at 398 West Bagley Road # 10. They offer other local vendors the opportunity to sell their handmade items in their store. We have teamed up with their owner, Amany, and Megan, a local history teacher and owner of Redeemed Home, to highlight one female refugee or immigrant entrepreneur in US Together’s Microenterprise Development Program at Finders Keepers Corner each month. This month, you can get a Kubra Kulshi & Kalashi original piece of art at Finders Keepers Corners to add to your collection! The vibrant colors in Kubra’s artwork are sure to liven up any space and all her unique pieces available at Finders’ Keepers Corner this month are a real steal with most items under $20!
