Description

If you truly believe in something, don't ever let go of it. Don't let not having a playbook stop you. Rahama Wright is here to tell you to go pursue your dreams because the best paths will not have a playbook given to you. When young Rahama first noticed a problem in the shea market, she wanted to do something about it. Volunteering in the Peace Corps and working in Mali, West Africa inspired her to create a businsss with a social mission that empowers women and children. She noticed that so many women harvesting and making shea butter were underpaid and in poverty, while global consumers were paying a high price for the goods. She realized she can be a problem solver by shaking up the system. Her business, Shea Yeleen, markets and distributes high-quality unrefined shea butter produced by women's cooperatives in West Africa, offering U.S. consumers a natural skincare line that is fairly-traded and ethically produced. As Rahama continues to shake up the industry and systems for equity with high-quality products, she is rethinking entrepreneurship and social impact as well. We're excited to celebrate her journey as an innovator as we celebrate Women's History Month. Please connect with her on LinkedIn and check out her site to learn more.
