Each product or “beauty souvenir” is inspired by a specific stop on Africa’s travel journey.  In just a short amount of time, Beauty by Africa Miranda has garnered the attention of many including features in Essence Magazine, Rollingout.com, Yahoo Style & Beauty, and BET.com.  Africa was born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in Montgomery, Alabama.  She graduated from Alabama State University.
