Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan partnering with FHQ Developments to spread Matchstick program
Destinee Peters took over as the owner of a hair and beauty salon at the age of 22, after the former owner asked if she wanted to buy the business out.
Peters faced many challenges while running the business as a young woman, but other challenges arose because she’s Indigenous.
