There was a lightbulb moment.
Why am I just thinking about the packing?
Lets think about the product.
How can we make [it] sustainable?
The quest for a solution led to the birth of Nourie.
Ultimately, the team succeeded.
It was literally just an idea.
You have to look at whos making the decisions when it comes to who gets the money.

Ojeaga says that even Black-led funds are typically given to Black men over women of the same race.
Im praying and hoping to see a shift happen.
As for the future of Nourie, stay tuned foradditional colors, wefted extensions, and wigs.
And the best business lesson?
Its so hard to make difficult decisions, she says.
But once you do it, its like a weight has been lifted off of you.
And you’re able to focus so much better and move forward.
