Black & Women-Owned Finds I'm Loving Right Now

I spend a lot of time helping my clients curate experiences — the right property, the right table, the right moment. But that intentionality doesn't stop when the trip ends.
I'm always on the lookout for products that bring that same energy into everyday life. This week, I went through my own Amazon cart and pulled together six picks from Black-owned and Women-owned brands worth your attention — plus a book I've been telling everyone about. These are the real ones.
Featured Picks
Harlem Candle Company – Josephine Luxury Soy Candle
If you've never burned a Harlem Candle Co. candle, let me be the one to change that. Founded by travel and lifestyle expert Teri Johnson — a woman who has visited 68+ countries and wanted to bring the world's best scents into your home — this brand is deeply intentional.
54 Thrones – African Beauty Butter Deluxe Tin (Oprah's Fave Things)
This one has been on my radar for a while. 54 Thrones was founded by Christina Funke Tegbe, a Nigerian-American woman whose brand is named for the 54 countries of Africa — each shea butter scent is inspired by a specific African region. The Deluxe Tin collection (an Oprah's Favorite Things pick) is a gorgeous 5-piece set featuring scent pairings like Kenyan Hibiscus + Moroccan Rose and Ugandan Vanilla + Ethiopian Honey.
Golde – Original Turmeric Superfood Latte Blend
Golde was co-founded by Trinity Mouzon Wofford with a simple mission: make wellness feel easy and accessible, not performative or complicated. Their Original Turmeric Latte Blend is one I keep stocked — it's plant-based, vegan, keto-friendly, sugar-free, and mixes beautifully into warm milk or oat milk in the morning.
Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm – Unfiltered Raw Creamed Honey
This one is a little unexpected and completely worth it. Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm is a Black-owned family farm in Hunterdon County, New Jersey that started when the family wanted a natural way to support their son's seasonal allergies. I picked this up for a client gift basket and ended up ordering a second jar for myself within the week.

Every one of these brands is worth knowing — not just buying. There's something really satisfying about putting intentional money behind people doing meaningful work.
Have a favorite Black-owned or Women-owned brand you think I should feature? Send it my way. And if you've been thinking about planning a trip — whether it's a solo reset, a group vacay, or a multigenerational family adventure — I'd love to help you put it together.
