Local Brooklyn Park resident Lina Adjogble has captured hearts with her beautiful, handcrafted jewelry—and the inspiring story behind it. "I wanted something that would be meaningful to me to remind me of just the journey that I've been on from walking maybe a little aimlessly, feeling a little lost, to finding freedom, to finding purpose, to feeling seen," Adjogble said. "There is so much freedom in knowing that you are here for a purpose. You are free to be who you are."? Small businesses like these are what make Brooklyn Park truly one of a kind! ??
