Feminist AF: Rooted in Women’s Justice

Dahlias are indigenous to Guatemala and Mexico. That’s why 5% of our profits go straight back to the source.

The Homeland Connection

Long before dahlias were hybridized in European and American gardens, they grew wild in the volcanic highlands of Central America. We honor that heritage by supporting the Indigenous women stewarding those lands today.

Our Partner: Women’s Justice Initiative (WJI)

Every dahlia purchase directly supports grassroots work led by and for Mayan women in rural Guatemala. Your purchase helps fund:

• Preventing child marriage through youth leadership and education
• Legal aid & survivor support for women fleeing gender-based violence
• Rights education & community advocacy delivered in local Indigenous languages

Backed by Decades of Human Rights Work

Kaya Blooms founders Lisa Shannon and Akefa Raza. Lisa Shannon has spent over 30 years working in international women’s human rights and has collaborated closely with WJI since 2018.

Out of hundreds of global grassroots initiatives, WJI stands out for its measurable, community-led impact. When we say Kaya Blooms is Feminist AF, this is what we mean: real resources in the hands of women who need them most.
