Amazon spotlights Black-owned businesses, connecting them to millions of customers

Sage & Alms is a benefit-based company with a mission to create products that reduce and limit waste. DewBurst was our first dry-to-wet wipe that comes in a biodegradable tube. After a trip to Ghana, we partnered with a business to make bean-to-bar chocolate, a product not widely seen in the U.S.

This business was started with an idea I had at 13 years old after my father gave me an undesirable buzz cut. I attempted to cut my own hair and it was a nightmare, so I used household items to create haircut templates. Fifteen years later, I got patents on the templates and The Cut Buddy was born.

I love creating exciting new ways for my family to eat healthy meals that are inspired by our African heritage. Africa is diverse - a symphony of colors, beauty, nature and flavor so as a Nigerian-American, being able to showcase this through Iya Foods has been the most rewarding adventure of my life.

We were two courageous entrepreneurs who started POWERHANDZ with one vision: to help improve training techniques for youth and professional basketball players around the world. The most rewarding thing about POWERHANDZ is that we continue that positive impact and donate to programs committed to athletic and academic excellence for youth in underserved communities
