Yasssss! Some of my favorite black business! The Spice Suite and Faanigye (I see you, Akua)!!!!!! Thank you for showcasing. Can’t wait to check out the others as well.
Absolutely love Faanigye!! Happy to see it featured here!
Shea butter from Faanigye is amazing! I use the shea butter on my skin. My skin feels so smooth and hydrated. Congratulations Faanigye!!
I can DEFINITELY vouch for that good ALL NATURAL Shea butter from Faanigye. I used up my ENTIRE jar scrapping it CLEAN, wanting more. Akua’s Ghanaian shea butter is probably the best I’ve used. This dark skin was POPPING and extremely soft. Definitely a must buy. Her purses and jewelry are also really nice. I picked up a bracelet too to add to my silky melaninated skin. Win win!
I’m in love with the Shea butter from Faanigye!!! It makes you’re skin feel amazing… skin actually glows!!! I bought two jars at once. On my second jar now and made sure I got every last drop out of the first. Time to order more as I can’t imagine running out. Also, it doesn’t hurt that the owner is my friend and one of the kindest, most dedicated people I know. So proud of you, Akua!!!
I love Faanigye her organic unrefined shea butter is liquid gold! She has curated so many beautiful pieces from Krobo bead bracelets, waist beads, to intricate hand woven handbags, and beautiful fans from Ghanaian Artisans. You can’t go wrong w/@Faanigye.
The Spice Suite is thee spice Mecca! If want to take your flavor experience to new heights…this where you need to go.
I LOVE @faanigye’s products! The shea is GOLD! I need an order of that shea butter asap! The other products are so beautiful, unique and always a great conversation starter! I support this all the way!! #blackowned #blackwomen #boss
