If you’re a natural hair enthusiast, the brand Shea Moisture is no stranger to you. When the recession started, Shea Moisture was the first brand I dropped because there was just no way it could fit into my budget at the time. They’ll be relaunching in Nigeria again and the Young Sofi Tucker competition is one of the numerous ways they’ll be trying to give back to society and empower young female entrepreneurs in Nigeria. Read details on how you can participate and win below.
SheaMoisture is the legacy of an incredible woman who rose like a phoenix from the ashes. In 1912, Sofi Tucker a 19-year old widowed mother of 4 began selling Shea butter at a village market in Sierra Leone. Little did she know, that her homemade hair and skin preparations will become a global brand paving ‘a better way to beautiful’ for women and their families everywhere. SheaMoisture is Sofi Tucker’s legacy carried on by the passion and diligence of her family for four generations
Nigeria has recently witnessed a boost of entrepreneurial spirit amongst young women. More Nigerian women are breaking glass ceilings with unconventional business ideas despite lack of funds and little or no support. Every Nigerian woman has a little bit of the SheaMoisture spirit in her; the relentless spirit of Sofi Tucker. The “Finding Young Sofi Tucker” competition seeks to reward this relentless zeal.
