About Mya and Kokom Scrunchies:
The creator behind Kokom Scrunchies. Mya Beaudry is a talented 12year old Algonquin from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation. Since starting Kokom Scrunchies in the fall of 2019, Mya and her family have always ensured that all Kokom Scrunchies are handmade with love in Canada.
