Meet Drolma: after graduating from Peking University on the Chinese mainland, she swapped city life for the mountains of Xizang to launch Dropenling, a workshop weaving cultural preservation with economic growth. 🧵✨
At Dropenling, Drolma trains rural women in ancient Tibetan arts like Thangka appliqué—think vibrant Buddhist paintings stitched from colorful silk. These artisans now earn up to 40,000 yuan a month, turning tradition into real income. 💸
Through skill-building sessions, online marketing tips, and collaborations with local designers, members of her community are not just crafting masterpieces—they’re writing new chapters for Xizang’s heritage. From local markets in Lhasa to global e-shops, Dropenling pieces are flying off the shelves! 🌍🛒
This blend of tech, tradition, and empowerment shows how one person’s homecoming can spark big change. For young creators and changemakers across South Asia and Southeast Asia, Drolma’s story is a reminder: culture thrives when it evolves—and when people believe in it. 💪🎉
Follow Dropenling to see how culture and innovation weave together! 👀
