Rahama Wright is one of the youngest female leader/entrepreneur who has helped empower many rural women around the world. In a bid to help local women around who could not send their kids to school or provide for them adequately, the CEO of Shea Yeleen International committed herself to empowering them through the production of Shea Butter. Ms Rahama Wright is a true inspiration to so many young people who are struggling with the decision to “start” having started her company at the age of 23. Initially rejected plenty of times by Whole Foods, Shea Yeleen Beauty products(Shea Yeleen soaps, lip balms and body butters) are currently being sold in over 40 Whole Food stores in the United States; an achievement caused her persistence and her will not to give up on her dreams.


Personally, I find Ms Wright’s story a very inspiring one because she started out as a non-profit company just to help others who are in dire need. Her company has grown over the years and she’s being recognized accross the globe for her contribution to the growth of the everyday African woman including being featured in Oprah Magazine.
