Celebrate International Women’s Day Shea is great for women!

Women make the world a better place! We do not get enough credit for our contributions – did you see the article the other day that said women contribute almost $11 trillion in unpaid labor? Or the UN report that said 90% of people have a “deeply ingrained bias against women”?

Sunday, March 8 is International Women’s Day and I hope people will think about all of the work women do to improve the world, so much of it unpaid. Using shea is one way you can be sure you are helping women (at least in most cases). Women who work really hard in shea include people like my mom and millions of girls and women in West Africa. As a mom myself, here with my first son, I know that a woman’s work is truly never done.

I remember when we would wake up before the sun came up to go fetch water for the house and do all the household work. And all of this work is never paid despite that it is so valuable. And girls and women are exploited all the time, too. By supporting shea, you are helping to change this – because shea is a way for people to earn money and improve their livelihoods!

I buy all of my shea from a company in northern Ghana that is certified Fair Trade. I have visited the company and made shea butter with the women who work there. So, you can rest assured that when you buy my products, you are contributing to a better world.

    First of all I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick
    question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.

    I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
    page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what
    youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
    it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

  16. Addisonzoe says:

    and the viewers are genuinely sharing nice thoughts.

  17. Sofia says:

    I believe everything posted made a ton of sense. However, what about this?

    suppose you were to create a killer title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however what if
    you added a headline to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean Celebrate International Women's
    Day Shea is great for women! | Kadidja is a little plain. You
    might look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they
    create article titles to get people to open the links.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested
    about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring
    your posts a little livelier.

    • kadidja says:
