I've worked in shoemaking from 2004 to 2024. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 700 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I like to keep things simple and honest.
I'm proud of everyone I got to work with.

What gifts mean to Halima: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
