THE PROBLEM
Purchasing ethnic grocery items in the U.S. is expensive and inconvenient
Have you ever had some really good African food and thought, "Man I wish I could replicate this recipe and make it at home!"
Where would you buy African ingredients?
Perhaps you are an African brand based in Nigeria, and you are looking for a way to get your amazing products to the U.S. consumer base.
What are your options?

WHY WE'RE CROWDFUNDING?
We're crowdfunding to invest in inventory and supplies to prepare for our busiest and most lucrative time of the year--the holiday shopping season!
We've lost a lot of revenue due to COVID; the holidays will be the perfect time to regain that lost revenue. Your contributions will ensure that we are able to re-stock out of stock inventory and serve our customers more efficiently, so they can stay safe at home and spend time with their families.
THANK YOU!
"From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and the communities we impact. During this time of uncertainty in our country, it's been important for us to have a platform that inspires curiosity, conversation, cultural diversity, and unity."
