Drop your answers in the chat before you run to @google: How many countries are in Africa? How many superfoods grow on the continent? While you consider your answer, I’ll share that Christina Funke Tegbe @funke_tegbe, Founder of @54thrones, a luxurious skincare brand, uses at least 5 of these superfoods in the products that she sources directly from the continent. The celebrated products also boast hero ingredients like shea butter, baobab oil, argan, jasmine, and Neroli–all sourced naturally across several African countries. 

 

I talk to Christina about her journey of exploration, research, and sourcing across different regions in Africa while collaborating with women cooperatives and entrepreneurs onsite. 

Tune in and hear her key transformative experiences: 

Speaking her mind boldly and receiving @Oprah’s response

Attending George Floyd’s funeral and reflecting on the wider scope of inclusion

Standing in her power during her real @shartankabc experience 

By the way, there are 54 sovereign African countries and a long list of superfoods!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
