I am a soap geek. I’ve been making and selling handmade soaps and body creams forever but I love African Black soap. So I added your Dudu Osun, Shea butter, and assortment of Black soaps, to my soaps. I have the most fun when I’m showing the products, when they can feel how soft shea butter makes their skin! I also use the butters and oils to make my soaps. I’m retired and having a blast!

My agency has provided beauty services and fashion productions for 11 years. However, when the Coronavirus pandemic suddenly put a stop to personal services and productions I had to figure out a way to pivot and keep my business running. That’s when I ordered my first few jewelry pieces from Africa Import. Once I saw how gorgeous these pieces were I knew my company’s pivot would be providing absolutely stunning, handmade jewelry for retail from the Motherland!

Just before celebrating the first anniversary of completing chemotherapy and final surgery for breast cancer, I decided to open an eBay store. My goal was to provide excellent service, amazing products and something to keep me busy. Earning some extra cash was a bonus. Qui Says was born.
