Fearless Fridays celebrates Black women entrepreneurs, artists, and educators. Dream Chaser encourages you to connect with and support these women—these dreamers, innovators, and culture bearers.
This week, we’re featuring Aiko Striplin, CFO of The Tiny Tassel, a brand that centers joy, creativity, and intentional design. The Tiny Tassel creates handmade jewelry, clothing, and accessories inspired by the vibrant colors and culture of Charleston, SC, bringing beauty and delight into everyday moments.
Aiko works closely with founder and lead designer Keiko Striplin to help curate fresh seasonal collections while supporting the operational and financial growth of the business. Each piece is handmade in Charleston by a creative, women-led team, reflecting a commitment to artistry, community, and empowerment.
Through her work, Aiko demonstrates how business leadership and creativity can come together to build something meaningful, joyful, and community-driven.
Join us in celebrating her impact and vision!
