Anyone that knows me, knows that I am inspired by nature because it has such a peaceful ring to it. So when I met Ileana Rojas, creator of Maleku Jewelry, I was immediately excited about doing a story on her.
Maleku, which means "Indian in Love", derives from an Indian tribe based in a rainforest which surrounds their culture with beautiful art. But the sad truth is, their tribe is slowly disappearing. Ileana uses her work to help preserve the tribe by donating some of the proceeds from her sales to sustain their culture.
