Korto Momolu, 33
Bio: Born in Liberia, Korto studied fashion in Canada and now lives near Little Rock, Ark., with her husband and daughter. Her African roots inspire her love of vivid colors, rich fabrics and nature motifs. Her creative outlets include photography, dance, drumming, and African hair braiding and makeup.
