“Put your heart into everything you do and always finish what you start!”

This philosophy is what drives Kristabelle Apollon, a young entrepreneur from the village of L’Escalier, as she forges her path to success. On International Women’s Day, which this year highlights the theme Accelerating Action, her journey is a perfect example of how passion and perseverance empower women to take control of their future.

Customized t-shirts, unique mugs, decorative pieces, Kristabelle’s creations stand out for their originality and quality. But her journey hasn’t been an easy one. Like many entrepreneurs, she faced uncertain beginnings, where everything had to be learned: mastering tools, building a customer base, and handling unexpected challenges.

“It takes patience and focus. You have to know what you want and, most importantly, never give up,” Kristabelle shares, her eyes filled with determination.

Energetic and committed, Kristabelle balances a full-time job as a community project coordinator while running her business. Her secret? A deep passion and the ability to organize herself step by step to reach her goals.

Kristabelle’s journey has also been shaped by the support of the ENL Foundation, which provided valuable training and guidance to help her launch her business.

“These programs are a breath of fresh air for women like me, full of creativity and motivation but needing that final push to refine our skills and build confidence.”

These training initiatives are part of a broader effort to empower the women entrepreneurs of tomorrow, providing them with the tools they need to turn their passion into a viable and sustainable business. They align perfectly with the spirit of Accelerating Action, offering women the concrete means to take new steps toward independence.

Kristabelle’s story is a testament to the strength and resilience of women who carve out their place in the entrepreneurial world through sheer determination. She represents the bold, creative, and innovative spirit of women in business today.

Bravo, Kristabelle! Wishing you continued success. Long live women’s entrepreneurship!
