In 2017, Mary founded Shiro's African Boutique – a heartfelt venture after her child went to college, making her an empty nester. As an entrepreneur with an accounting business, Mary wanted to create a social impact and honor her Kenyan roots. Shiro's African Boutique brings exquisite Women's Beaded Jewelry, Beaded Necklaces, Bracelets, and Earrings crafted by individual artists from her home country, Kenya, to the Minnesota market. Discover unique treasures with cultural significance at our boutique.
