Project Description

wholistic community

My mission for my company is to provide access to healing the mind, body, and soul to my community to promote a more healthy and sustainable life.  

What is the problem i'm solving?

My Mission is to solve unhealthy bodies and minds with the products and services I do. I want to close the gap of African American communities not having access to healing alternative medicines and practices. All the herbal shops are not really in the black community or they might be but nobody really knows about it. So I will solving how African Americans in todays society perceive herbs or wholistic medicine. The market size for my products and services are really big and well known and are still increasing. I feel like it just started to become really known to the black community of my generation and my goal is to reach to the black community even more. 

How did Asali Beauty/Healing Journey start?

The Asali Beauty/Healing journey started with me coming up with an idea of having a two in one lipgloss and chapstick. I hadn't seen anything like it sold in stores and I always wanted to have a lipgloss and chapstick on deck. I did my research and found some containers and started to make my own natural lipgloss and chapstick. It was a good idea but eventually I started to go in a different direction. I started to want to know about herbs and alternative medicine. So as I started to study that and learn more about the body, mind, and soul my business started to reflect that. I started mixing my own teas and made my own Florida wata as I like to say. The Florida wata was something I made for myself to cleanse and ease my anxiety. It’s worked for me in my journey. Later on I decided to make it for others thinking if it helped me feel better I wonder if it would help others. Me making that Florida wata for myself was a self love act and I put my intention into it to make me feel better.

That Florida wata is now called Intention Spray. Once I started getting into my spirituality I went to New Orleans to go to this shop called a Haus of Hoodoo. It had everything that I needed and it was black owned which made me feel proud. I eventually came back home but I noticed that Austin and even pflugerville area didn’t have a store like that and I missed the feeling that I got when I walked into Haus of Hoodoo. More so I noticed that the black community doesn’t have that. That is the whole point of my business; to be able to give that same feeling that Haus of Hoodoo gave me when I walked in to my community. I want to be able to bridge the gap between wholistic living and the African American community. I want to delete the myth of alternative medicine not working or spiritual practices not working in the black community. I also want to remove the idea of wholistic living not being for the African American community. I want it to be known that wholistic living can be for anybody any race, any size, and any background.

My company is about healing your mind, body, and soul holistically using herbs, breath work, mediation, movement, and etc. I'm a black women preaching wholistic wellness. Being the image that African Americans need to see in order to trust and know that we can really benefit from having a wholistic life. With this funding I will be able to really build my team and have a community of different black entrepreneurs that specialize in certain practices. To where it makes it a all in one shop!

Why am I seeking Funding?

I'm seeking funding because unfortunately having a part- time or full-time job does not really benefit my company full time. I might have a little left over from paying for bills but I want to do be able to do this full time and not part time. With that being said there's times where I have to put making my products or paying freelancers to help with my business on hold. I feel like our community could really benefit from having a black owned wellness/spiritual store in reach and I don't feel that should be put on hold.
