Kyra's Shea Medleys
In the writing of this blog I have found that either women start their product lines due to health issues, or a lack of a product that they needed out there on the market.
Kyra Nicole was in the latter group. She started making Shea Butter Creams as a UCLA undergraduate when she discovered that nearby stores lacked products for her curly hair. She decided to create her own line to fill this simple need. Kyra's Shea Medleys is woman-owned and led by three African-American entrepreneurs from South Central Los Angeles. Great to see women of color running businesses! What I love is that these women that run Kyra’s Shea Medleys are first generation college graduates and business owners – how empowering to all of us!!
Though upon publishing of this blog post it doesn’t look like at the moment that they are still selling their butters - maybe a reformulation is happening?? You can still play with a number of their other products.
