Haby Barry is the founder of Fulaba, a boutique jewelry brand that provides timeless jewelry from African high culture. Although Haby started with Fulani jewelry because of her heritage, her goal was always to go beyond and feature jewelry from the royalty and nobility of other African ethnic groups and political empires, hence the Wolof and Tukulor collections with more to come. Fulaba has been featured in several publications, including Allure and Essence magazines, and worn by influencers and celebrities, including Alicia Keys and Regina King.

Haby’s professional background includes strategic and digital marketing and content creation. She holds a Bachelor’s of Music degree from NYU where she graduated cum laude studying Music Business. Haby now resides in Los Angeles, CA.
