Read the full interview with her to see how she leveraged her MBA degree at Bay Atlantic University into a successful business:
Udall Caribbean, a jewelry brand whose products connect consumers to Caribbean heroes and heroines of the past while celebrating the region’s rich culture and heritage, launched an eBoutique on Sept. 9, allowing customers from around the world to shop its selections.
The company was founded by 38-year-old St. Croix native Ephra Graham in December 2019 and derives its name from St. Croix’s Point Udall – the easternmost point in the United States.
According to a news release from Graham, Udall Caribbean offers fine heirloom jewelry designed to be passed from one generation to the next. Its flagship collection includes a signet pendant and a pendant inspired by the life of Mary “Queen Mary” Thomas, the former slave famous for leading a labor riot in 1878 against St. Croix’s Danish ruling class that resulted in the burning of Frederiksted, locally hailed as “the Fireburn.” Udall’s items are made in the United States using recycled precious metals – 14 karat gold and 925 sterling silver. The pieces can be purchased separately or as a set with a 16-inch or 18-inch chain.
Graham lives in the Washington, D.C. area and in 2015 earned a master’s degree in business executive management/international entrepreneurship from Bay Atlantic University in Washington, D.C.
