Stella Romana Airoldi

Digital Nomad empowering families in Uganda through fashion and design!

Stella is the founder of 22STARS and wants to inspire others to think about the impact they can make with their business. Stella has a master degree in International Law and Human Rights and Democratization. Her studies brought her to Africa where she interviewed refugees in Kampala, Uganda. Some of these women, mainly widows and HIV positive, made jewelry out of recycled paper. In order to have an impact, Stella started to buy this jewelry to sell it to her friends in the Netherlands. The project evolved: there is now a professional brand, 2 production units and a sponsor project for school fees of the children. Stella started making the designs herself and incorporates elements from different cultures in her collections. When Stella is not in Uganda, she travels the world, alone or with her friends from the digital nomad community.
