Peace y'all and happy Friday! We want y'all to meet Randi Lashan ( ). She is the owner of Naima Naturals LLC.  Naima Naturals came into fruition because Randi wanted to assist herself and others with natural products and remedies for ailments within the body. She began her wellness journey in 2017 while was dealing with various chronic ailments. Weary of being sick with little to no relief from her current methods of treatment, she decided to take her wellness into her own hands. This healing journey is more than just a physical experience, it is a mental and spiritual journey well. Each product is made with self-healing in mind. Crafted with love and healing intentions in each handmade, vegan, non-gmo product.

Peeeace everyone!! I want to introduce y'all to one of my co-hosts for Black Vegan Fest Indy. Her name is Trilanda Colbert and she is the Owner and Cook for Kei2Health ( ).

She became interested in natural healing due to some health concerns in her early 20's. Over the years, her interest and knowledge increased in the health and wellness field. In March 2018, she learned that she had a heart condition. She decided to leave her corporate job to focus on her health. With much rest, clean eating, and other natural remedies, she was completely healed and able to stop taking medication.

She decided not to return to the corporate world as she wanted to focus on helping others live a healthier life. In January 2019, she decided to pursue a certification in Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching. With this certification, she is able to utilize her personal experience and education to help others unlock their Kei2Health. Her goal is to educate and provide healthy foods to anyone desiring to create a healthier lifestyle. Her baked goods and foods are made with lots of love and all natural ingredients. 

You are doing an awesome job with Kei2Health and you are appreciated. Thank you for helping with the continuation of growth! ❤🖤💚🌱

She just celebrated her one year anniversary recently, and several people have enjoyed the smooth, non-sticky, vegan, yet fun flavors and it’s been successful.

Peace y'all! Meet Dominique Hensley, the Owner and Creator of 6LS Hair Care ( )! 6LS was created as a way to help make everyday hair styling not seem like a chore.  Being a mother of 2 girls and having to deal with her own hair, it seemed to become a weekly task that never seemed to end! So she started researching and discovered Chebe Powder, which is a haircare secret of an African Ethnic group in Chad used to keep their hair moisturized, and BOOM 6LS was born and the rest is HER-STORY!
