In this week’s episode of Next Level, host Devine Blacksher chats with To the Nile designer and branding creative Katra Awad, who’s been creating and selling smallbatch jewelry since she was just fourteen years old. Despite the stresses of the pandemic, she’s started a new collection of prints exploring her EgyptianMexican cultural background, “The Heritage Series.” Katra’s been able to maintain motivation because of her ability to ground herself — she swears by breathing exercises, sunbathing, dancing, and weekly hikes.
