Sarjesa Inc. started as a final project for an Indigenous Studies Course led by Dr. Renae Watchman. During a regular visit to her local coffee shop, Alexandra had an idea for a tea that could raise awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people. The concept involved using Canadian ingredients, collaborating with local elders, and supporting a nearby women’s shelter, giving rise to Sarjesa Inc.
As our dedication to supporting women deepened, and our understanding of social entrepreneurship grew, we realized it needed to go beyond just donating a portion of sales. Recognizing the widespread issue of violence against women, especially those with intersectional identities, we aimed to extend our impact beyond community boundaries. Through supply chain development, we sourced ingredients from different farms and communities, with a focus on economically empowering women.
