Elisha A. Batson, Founder of BELAN

Elisha A. Batson is the founder of BELAN, an international e-commerce boutique specializing in statement-driven accessories that empower women to turn heads the moment they walk in the room. With 15 years in the fashion industry, Elisha launched BELAN in 2011 with a simple belief: Every woman deserves to feel photograph-ready while doing the work she was placed on this earth to do.

Her path to fashion wasn't traditional. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia College & State University and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Lagrange College, Elisha spent her early career in education. But fashion found her long before, a passion cultivated since her early teens and a God-given sense of style that she calls her superpower.

Elisha is a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Based in the Metropolitan Atlanta area, Elisha serves fashion-forward women around the globe who crave unique, conversationally driven accessories that elevate an already fabulous OOTD. Her satisfied customers are her why and the reason she keeps showing up to help them command every room they enter.
