Abstract:
Sonya Hagna, founder and owner of the highly successful Dilly Bean business, has started a new company, Tawashi, Inc., that manufactures and sells wash cloths made from the spongy fibers of the Hischima plant, a gourd very similar to the Luffa cylindrical. Hagna, a High Point native, has received extensive national coverage as a female entrepreneur in national magazines such as TIME and PAGEANT.
