My name is Heather Jackson, I live on a regenerative farm called Duemosegaard with my husband Ross. I have three grown children, and often regard the world with dismay for our future well-being, and the seeming lack of moral compass from our so-called leaders.
So, as a mother, an activist and artist I have decided to do something about that.
I’m trained as a fashion and textile designer, and worked extensively in design and decoration in London and Paris prior to rejecting it, finding it profoundly wasteful and disastrous for the environment and the health of millions. Lately, my husband Ross Jackson and I have been rewilding and creating no-til farming on our 19 hectares here in Denmark. But the creative gene in me has re-surfaced…
As a designer, with an intuitive eye for colour, form and quality – I have a desire to hold out a helping hand to clever women across the world who might need a little help in developing their handicrafts for the western market, thereby creating an income for themselves and their families. I have an “eye” and simply love colour, natural fabrics, ethical business models and building bridges across continents. It’s travelling that fills me up with hope and inspiration for the future; we’re all the same, and with the same love for our children. There’s lies the simple truth of our humanity – we are all one tribe and when we help one another, we all rise.
KABILA Market was born from this simple truth: when women support one another, the world becomes softer, stronger, and more connected. Across deserts and oceans, across languages and cultures, we share the same heartbeat — love for our children, hope for their future, and the quiet strength that carries families forward. A mother’s wish in Sinai is no different from a mother’s wish in Copenhagen. We all want safety, opportunity, dignity, and light for the next generation.
