What started as a bold idea rooted in equity and access became a powerful milestone for African women makers. In this TV interview with Fox KTVU, our Founder, Mpho Hansjee shares the story behind launching the very first self-service retail kiosk in the US dedicated to selling products made by women across African an initiative powered through our sister organisation, ShopConsciously.

​

The kiosk represents more than innovation in retail; it’s a tangible bridge between talented women crafters and global markets that were once out of reach. Through this moment, we celebrate visibility, representation, and the belief that when women are given the right support and access, their businesses can travel far beyond borders. This is what empowerment looks like crafted by women, sustained by opportunity, and shared with the world.
