Prisca is a Kenyan-bon Australian, a global citizen, an entrepreneur and a changemaker.
Prisca was told “it’s not possible” many times in the early development of Baresop, but she refused to give up. She had a vision for a product range that would reduce waste, be good for the planet, and be “waterless”.
