New year, new purpose. In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed interviews Julie Colombino-Bellingham, founder of Deux Mains—a humanitarian entrepreneur who turned the 2010 Haiti earthquake response into a global, Fairtrade-verified luxury brand. Julie shares the moment that changed everything—“I don’t want money, I need a job”—and how it sparked a 16-year mission built on dignity through work, not charity.
They unpack how Deux Mains became the only woman-owned, solar-powered leather goods factory in Haiti, what it takes to build sustainable manufacturing, why listening is a leadership superpower, and how partnerships with Nordstrom and more are expanding the brand’s impact. Julie also previews big 2026 goals—including a potential flagship store—and the deeper vision: economic freedom and opportunity for Haiti.
