Our first guest of the season is Nigerian-born, UK-raised and USA-based entrepreneur, Funlayo Alabi. She is the CEO and Co-founder of Shea Radiance, a Vegan all-natural body and hair care brand. Her entrepreneurial journey so far, is a brilliant account of resilience, courage, paying attention to the details of your life and what I believe to be a demonstration of feminism in real life.
After many years of writing code for an insurance company, Funlayo had a moment of personal reckoning that pushed her into her entrepreneurial journey. It started out as trying to find a solution to a family’s dry skin challenge, it quickly transformed into a kitchen factory serving a local farmer’s market. Today, Shea Radiance is a recognizable brand that is available online and sits on some prestigious store shelves throughout the USA.
Funlayo says the company has social impact at its heart. They work directly with woman-owned cooperatives in West Africa. This ensures trade-driven economic access for these shea butter producer partners and secures the company’s supply chain. She also adds that they are committed to a global community and in this spirit of community, everything they do is rooted in creating a positive and enduring impact - for their customers, women suppliers, and our planet.
