The creator behind Kokom lanyards. Mya Beaudry is a talented 11 year old Algonquin from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation. Since starting Kokom lanyards in the fall of 2019, Mya has always ensured that all Kokom lanyards are handmade with love in Canada.

Mya named each of the original Kokom lanyards 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 and lanyards to everyone, young and old.
