🙌✨ Power of community

Becoming an entrepreneur, I learned that the power of community is invaluable. I’m deeply grateful to have forged bonds with amazing women entrepreneurs and to meet new inspiring people along this journey. Through our culinary #arganoil from Morocco, we not only bring a unique product to the market but also contribute to women’s empowerment and local development.

Entrepreneurship is about human connections, and with ARGN, we aim to build a community united by shared values, celebrating social impact. Together, we thrive.

Le pouvoir de la communauté

Devenir entrepreneure m’a appris que la puissance de la communauté est inestimable. Je suis profondément reconnaissante d’avoir noué des liens avec des femmes entrepreneures formidables et de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes inspirantes tout au long de ce parcours.
À travers notre #huiledargan culinaire du Maroc, nous apportons non seulement un produit unique sur le marché, mais nous contribuons également à l’autonomisation des femmes et au développement local.

L’entrepreneuriat, c’est avant tout des relations humaines, et avec ARGN, nous visons à créer une communauté unie par des valeurs communes, célébrant l’impact social. Ensemble, nous prospérons.

En fondant @antiquetoronto et @nouway.inc je n’ai pas gagné des millions mais j’ai gagné de nouvelles amies et le soutien inconditionnel de celles qui étaient déjà dans ma vie pour m’accompagner dans mes projets personnels et mes folies d’entrepreneure !
Pour moi, ça vaut tout l’or du monde🌟

Bio:
Lina Ravelojaona is the founder of soo.ala an eco concept store featuring eco-friendly and ethical handmade products from Madagascar. She believes Entrepreneurship is a catalyst for the good changes we want to see in the world. We are proud to serve a cause that goes beyond fair trade and knowing that we make it possible for people to make a tremendous impact on someone else's life, is sufficient to make us do what we do. We make sure our makers earn a regular living from their hard work and find value in sharing their culture abroad. Through your purchase, we are able to place regular orders with them and bet on a brighter future for themselves and their families. We will show you how life changing it is; they will be able to send their children to school, take care of their health and perhaps hire other people to maintain their productivity, allowing these new recruits to earn a living as well.

Thank you so much @mamaatrade and @_soo.ala for the amazing Mother’s Day giveaway prize valued at $170, which I shared with my mom!

🤎I received amazing combo of Shea butter, baobab oil and Shea soap from @mamaatrade ! Also, @_soo.ala kindly gifted me their lovely reusable raffia net bag, which is so perfect for going to get fresh fruits and veggies at a farmers market! It is handmade with care in Madagascar! It is 💯% biodegradable, made entirely of natural fibre! My mom is absolutely in love with this bag! What a great eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags!

🤎Did you know baobab oil is the super nutrient in the beauty industry? It is extracted from the seeds of the baobab tree in Africa. It is good for you as it contains omega 3,6,9 and Vitamins A,D and K. It repairs, conditions and moisturizers skin and hair. It also nourishes and heals damaged skin, lips and prevents stretch marks. I found it to be so soothing and moisturizing on my skin.

🤎The Shea Butter soap smells divine! It is handcrafted in Canada with oils from Ghana. It is made of 💯 % natural Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and baobab oil. Love the soap packaging as well! It is good for the planet!

🤎Shea butter-this product has so many benefits! It is produced from Shea-tree nuts in Northern Ghana. What my mom and I loved about it is that it is 💯% natural, unrefined and handcrafted. It is good for you as it contains vitamins A, E and F and other fatty acids. It is produced manually through the a labour intensive process, which preserves all the good qualities of Shea butter.

🤎To use it, I rub a small quantity of Shea butter in the palm until it has melted. Then, apply it to my skin or hair.

🤎I find Shea butter very moisturizing on dry skin, especially heels, chapped lips, elbows and hands. Shea butter can be used as after sun to alleviate sunburn. This is perfect timing as the weather gets warmer!

🤎Be sure to check out both of these amazing companies. They are eco-friendly and safe for the environment!
