https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/video/2025/02/22/pop-up-black-owned-business-market/
This Black History Month, I had the honor of being featured on CTV News alongside TrendingTable to discuss the journey of Shandina Organic and the importance of representation in the beauty and skincare industry. It was a powerful moment that allowed me to reflect on how far we’ve come and the impact we continue to make.
A Powerful Collaboration: Shandina Organic & TrendingTable
Being able to partner with TrendingTable, a platform dedicated to highlighting and supporting diverse voices, was an incredible experience. Together, we had the opportunity to share the story of Shandina Organic, a brand built on sustainability, community, and empowering individuals through natural, high-quality skincare products.
The segment was not only a celebration of my company’s journey but also a moment to reflect on the broader significance of Black History Month. It’s a time to honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black individuals, and to continue pushing forward with the same determination and resilience that has always driven us.
Reflecting on the Importance of Representation in the Industry
As a Black entrepreneur in the beauty and skincare space, I am passionate about creating products that not only nourish the skin but also represent and uplift our communities. Being featured on CTV News allowed me to shine a light on the importance of diversity and representation in an industry that often lacks it. There is incredible strength in seeing people who look like you in spaces where you may not traditionally see yourself.
This feature was a reminder of how much representation matters, not just in beauty but across all sectors. The more we uplift and amplify diverse voices, the more we pave the way for future generations to feel empowered and inspired to follow their dreams.
The Power of Community
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported Shandina Organic on this journey. From our loyal customers to our partners at TrendingTable, your support has been instrumental in helping us reach this moment. This feature is not just a personal achievement, but a celebration of all of us working together to create something beautiful and impactful.
A very special thank you to Jessica Smith for your unwavering support and collaboration throughout this process. Your dedication and belief in our mission have been invaluable, and I’m so grateful for your partnership.
I also want to thank CTV News for the opportunity to share our story and for helping amplify the voices of Black entrepreneurs. It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of our work and the difference we can make when we collaborate and support each other.
Looking Ahead: Continuing the Journey
As we celebrate Black History Month, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for what’s to come. The future of Shandina Organic is bright, and we’re committed to continuing our work in sustainability, community-building, and empowering individuals through our products.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey. I can’t wait to see what’s next as we continue to break barriers, uplift our communities, and redefine beauty standards.
