Salam Hello

Mallory was working in advertising in New York and was nearly burnt out when she took a trip to Morocco that was going to change her life. Venturing off the touristic path, she met the Berber women who had been hand weaving rugs for generations and found out that they were being exploited by middlemen looking to make a big profit in the souks of Marrakech. The sense of place she felt landing there, and the instant connection to these women led Mallory to quit a high paying job and start Salam Hello - a textile company that works directly with the local women artisans and pays them a fair price for their craft. With Salam Hello Mallory is not just importing rugs and textiles, she's giving back power to these women and telling their stories, so customers from around the world can understand the meaning of these objects. In this episode, we talk about Mallory's fascinating journey from New York to Morocco and her first steps as an entrepreneur. Resources: Salam Hello website: https://salamhello.com/Salam Hello on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_salamhello_/More about masters of good: Our website: https://www.mastersofgood.com/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mastersofgood/

Mallory Solomon, founder of Salam Hello: a better rug. 

Mallory was born with an entrepreneurial spirit, and though she loved working with businesses to strategize and further their objectives, she was overworked and under-inspired at her New York advertising agency. After cancelling several solo trips due to the demands of her industry, she finally committed to a much-needed getaway in Morocco. On today's episode, Mallory shares experiences from that trip that inspired her to create Salam Hello – a textile company which champions the women artisans behind Morocco's famous rugs and pays them fairly for their work (something that’s outrageously rare in the current middle-man operated system). Learn how Mallory initially met the Berber women she works with now, why nights spent in the desert are different than the rest, and how spending time in Morocco "turns down the temperature" of her anxiety.
