We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Shoanta Brown. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Shoanta below.

Alright, Shoanta thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

My mission is to bring natural products to all people. My youngest son was diagnosed with eczema at 4 years old. I have heard of this but the diagnosis was new. Never wanted him to experience the prescription drugs and the side effects that come along with it. I began to do research and learned that eczema is a build up of toxins that need to be flushed out and treated from the inside out to gain maximum health. Diet was indeed a difficult task when it came to a 4 year old but I managed to make food tasty and encourage him make better choices with food. Reading labels for ingredients and researching them to know what they really are. There was a lot of pushback in the beginning so i quickly learned that I had to make better choices as well when it comes to food. We implemented more fruit and vegetables, field trips to the grocery store to look and purchase different options. Basically made grocery shopping a game with information a 4 year old could understand. Now we do occasionally have a tasty treat however over all he understands that eating better makes you feel better, look better and have more energy to do the daily work and play that we like to do.

Shoanta, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I started my business bc I wanted to help other people understand there is a better way to moisturize and take care of their skin. After my son’s eczema diagnosis, I knew there was a better way. I didnt want to just be lazy and say oh well these steroids would help. No I want him to have a better quality of life without side effects and chemical dependency. I believe that our bodies can heal itself when given the proper tools and information. I provide all natural skincare for all skin types. I love helping people and giving them the information that I have learned throughout my journey with my son. We encourage people to use natural products daily. I formulate all natural body butter and body oil infused with essential oils and fresh herbs, along with all natural beard oil for men made with all natural and essential oils. I am proud that I trusted the process and listened to the leading of God. I put my heart and soul into my products along with good quality ingredients and products are made in small batches. After speaking with customers about my products I like to listen to there response and answer any questions they may have. I also like to see if there is anything in particular that I could help with. I do inform them that I am not a medical doctor and by all means I encourage them to do what is best for them.

Do you have multiple revenue streams – if so, can you talk to us about those streams and how your developed them?

Yes, I actually have products in 3 locations locally. Roots Barber and Beauty Supply, 5th&Fab Fashion Boutique and the historic location on Greenwood, The Black Wall Street Corner Store and more.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

I stay in touch with my clients by email and social media. I have an email list and this list is the first to get discount codes and new product alert with the option to purchase before everyone else is aware. Social media presence is important also so i do have a presence on facebook and instagram to connect give information, post news letters, events and other good news.
