Debra Brockelsby
Debra Brockelsby is a resilient entrepreneur and the founder of StokedNZ, a thriving towel business she started after recovering from a severe brain injury sustained in a mountain biking accident in 2015.

Inspired by her love for swimming and the need for functional and comfortable towels, she began creating and selling Turkish cotton 'towelies' at local markets.

Her journey is a testament to her determination and the positive impact of entrepreneurship on personal recovery.
