In March 2020, fans recognized #jhope's beadwork decor and discovered it was from Monkeybiz, a social enterprise that empowers South African women to achieve financial independence. Founded in 2000 by Barbara Jackson and Shirley Fintz, Monkeybiz began with a beaded doll created by Mathapelo Ngaka-Mtati and her mother, Makatiso. The project has since grown, supporting over 450 beaders from rural Cape Town townships while preserving South Africa's beadwork tradition.
