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.

Mya named each of the original Kokom Scrunchies after Indigenous role models in her life. She hopes to also inspire others in her journey. What started off as an idea, has taken Mya on path of bringing Kokom Scrunchies to everyone, young and old.
