"OH
YEAH! COOL"
- That's what Bejuba means, according to Tatiana
Kober's niece, Alena. When the 9 year old created the
word as a way to express herself and to cheer on her favorite
hockey team, it was clear to Tatiana that there was no
other word that would so aptly define the name of the
company she was about to form. |
