The process of this small black owned business was curated from a vivid vision of being apart of change 8 years ago. I’ve always had a fond love for giving and wanting to help in anyway possible. The name “Affirmations” came to me randomly while being a passenger in traffic in 2013 and it STUCK! Not really knowing why this came to me or what I would do with it, I wrote the name down in a journal for safe keeping.
As the years went by and my fond love for being an impact on people grew stronger, along with experiencing health complications that affected my skin (diabetes) and mental well being (clinical anxiety). It suddenly began to make sense! Hmmm... why don’t we do some research on affective agents that alleviate stress, anxiety, and helps us heal from the inside out?! The research party began and I ran to the kitchen, which is known as the lab with all of my organic oils, herbs, and a whole lot of love. I then began created my very first product.
The curiosity and interest in my very first product which is handmade organic lip gloss, derived from a coworker asking for a finger squeeze to moisturize her lips and she loved the smell and texture. She then asked where did I purchase the product and I explained I CREATED IT! This experience made my very first sale as she placed an order and spread the word. Later on more products came to mind as well as product suggestions and my life changed forever! My company was born & legally licensed/established in 2019.
