    Ep.19 How Abena Boamah built a million dollar business from Shea Butter

    This episode of They Say I’m Too Loud feels like a big hug, a lot of laughs, and a celebration of what it means to dream loudly. I sit down with Abena Boamah — Founder of Hanahana Beauty, content creator, and runner — to talk about her journey from growing up with nkuto (shea butter) in her home, to creating one of the most loved Black-owned beauty brands sold at Ulta and featured on Beyoncé’s Black Parade route. In true loud girl fashion, we cover it all: My hilarious Beyoncé lyric mix-up that made me think she shouted out Hanahana Beauty 😂 Growing up Ghanaian-American and the way nkuto/yokumi shaped our skincare rituals Why Abena didn’t start her brand earlier, and what sparked Hanahana’s launch What ethically sourced shea butter really means and how she’s empowering women in Tamale through fair wages, healthcare access, and tech like kneading machines The philosophy behind “there’s no need to be ashy” ✨ Running, routines, and how Abena balances wellness with entrepreneurship Talking money, milestones, and what it feels like to see your brand grow beyond your wildest dreams Our shared love for Ghana and Abena’s big vision for giving back This isn’t just a founder story — it’s a conversation about culture, community, and creating loud lives filled with purpose. ★ This episode was filmed at The Content Studio.

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with Djifa, one of TikTok's most authentic and hilarious creators, who went from navigating family expectations to building a vibrant online presence through comedy. We dive deep into her incredible journey—being a pioneer in her own right, finding her voice in comedy, and balancing the weight of cultural traditions with her personal dreams.She opens up about the hilarious and sometimes challenging dynamics with her mother, who famously tried to marry her off, and why Djifa's declared she's "never marrying a Ghanaian man." We explore her insights on cutting off toxic friendships, her deep love for solo foodie dates (inspired by her dad's mantra: "If you don’t eat, you die"), and the impactful work of her Mi Shia Foundation in medical outreach.This is a story of embracing a mixed-race identity, speaking multiple languages, and a humorous look at everyday Ghanaian pet peeves. Djifa shares the unfiltered truth about her rise, the complexities of public life, and how she stays true to herself amidst it all.
