My heart is so full. 🥹❤️ Last September, my friend Cerwaa told me, “Wesley, there’s this event coming up. I want us to be food vendors, and we’re going to do it.” And she didn’t just say it. She made sure we DID IT. What makes this even more emotional for me is that two months ago, I lost my job. I genuinely didn’t know what was next or what I was going to do, but I told myself I was going to bet on myself and figure it out. Then this weekend happened.And I think I underestimated how loved and supported I really am. You guys SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OFF! 😭 People came to our stand and waited 40, sometimes 50 minutes for food. Some people didn’t even get their food and STILL came back the next day. No anger, just patience, love and support. I don’t think I can properly explain what that meant to me. Friday to Sunday was not easy. We were TIRED.🤦🏾‍♂️There were moments we looked at each other like, “Yeah… we cannot do this.” But every single day, we got up, cooked again, showed up again and did what needed to be done.And I have to give flowers where they’re due because THIS TEAM?! ❤️ Serwa, the mastermind behind all of this — the woman who said we were going to do it and actually made sure we DID IT. Sandra and Hilda, our two amazing chefs who COOKED and cooked and COOKED 😭😂. And then myself, somewhere in the middle of all the madness doing what I do. The four of us really became a power team that weekend. Different strengths, different personalities, but one goal. And somehow, we made it happen.But through all of it, God was right there. This weekend reminded me that when God says He’s going to do something, just let Him cook. Because truly, with Him, all things are possible. I thought betting on myself meant content, fashion and figuring out my next move. I’m realizing now that it might be so much bigger than what I had in mind.So this post is simply to say THANK YOU. From my friends and I, thank you to every single person who came to our stand, waited for food, bought something, posted our flyer, reposted us, mentioned us, told somebody about us, checked on us or supported us in any way.

ESSENCE Festival of Culture 2026… Day 1. 🤎✨ We started the day the only way we know how… with prayer. 🙏🏾 Before the doors opened, we prayed over our team, anointed our booth, and committed everything to God. Then it was time to get to work. Day 1 definitely came with a few unexpected twists, but one thing never changed—the love we received from everyone who made it to our booth. Seeing so many of you discover Omolewa, try our products, and leave smiling made it all worth it. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported us, and encouraged us throughout the day. We don’t take it for granted. 🤎 There were way too many moments to fit into one carousel, so here’s a glimpse of Day 1. More behind-the-scenes coming soon! 💕 📸 captured by @theultimatecontentxperience @shade_olaa

Y’all thought I forgot about the Known Conference review? 😂 Trust me, I didn’t. I’ve been sitting on this one because I wanted to be fair. I know this was their first year, and I genuinely respect anyone bold enough to put together an event of this scale. BUT… Sending vendors important instructions less than 8 hours before the event, lack of communication, last-minute changes, and leaving vendors confused ain’t it. The vision was there. The potential is there. The community definitely showed up. But if this conference is going to grow, communication and organization have to be taken seriously. This isn’t hate. It’s feedback from someone who paid to be there and wants to see the event succeed. Anyway… here’s my review. 👀🍿 #KnownConference #VendorLife #SmallBusinessOwner #EntrepreneurLife #VendorReview

Hi, I’m Josephine… founder of Unami Skincare 🤍 But before Unami… there was a version of this story I almost never told. I started my business in 2019. In my brother’s basement. Back when it was called The Nutty Tree. I trusted him with everything. He was 16 years older than me… so I thought he knew better. I let him take control of the business… the money… the direction. I didn’t question it. Until one day… something felt off. The numbers weren’t adding up. At first, I told myself I was overthinking. Then I checked again. And again. And again. And that’s when I realized… something wasn’t right. And the scariest part? It wasn’t a stranger. It wasn’t a business partner. It was family. In that moment, I had a choice: fight for what I built… or protect my peace. And what nobody tells you is… sometimes you don’t get to do both. So I walked away. Not just from the situation… but from my business. Everything I worked for… gone. I left with nothing. And when I say nothing… I mean nothing. I went from building a brand… to living in my car. From my car… to sleeping on friends’ couches. From trying to hold it together… to wondering how I even got there. All because I trusted someone I thought would protect me. But here’s the part nobody expects… I didn’t give up. Somehow… I found my way back. And Unami Skincare was born from that exact moment I thought everything was over. What you see today? This didn’t come easy. This came from loss, betrayal, and starting over from zero. And there’s so much more to this story I haven’t even said yet… Comment “story time” if you want the full story 👀 #UnamiSkincare #FounderStory #BlackOwnedBusiness #EntrepreneurJourney #startedfromthebottom
