Oh what a joy!🤩 The shea ladies are really a positive group of women, always ready to break into a moment of celebration with dancing, singing and clapping! 👏💃🏾🥳 If you are happy and you know it, why not to show it? 👍 That way you give positive vibes to everyone around you! 🙏😍

This time the cause of celebration is a new order we just made to keep the women busy in their small factory and our customers supplied with the extraordinary, moisturizing, unrefined, 💯 natural shea butter. A cause of celebration both to us here in Canada 🇨🇦 and our partners in 🇬🇭! 🤩

We could not do this, share this joy around, without all you good people that buy the shea butter made with ❤️ by these same incredible women. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

👋 Did you know that these pot baskets are very versatile. Can be used as hiding places 😺, for storing stuff and for plants. Pretty near, or what do you think? 😅

The French existential philosopher Simone de Beauvoir was born on this day 113 years-ago (9 January 1908) in Paris. Her study 'The Second S*x', published in 1949, transformed world's understanding of the position of women as she was the first to argue that oppression of women is not 'natural' but socially and historically constructed. She showed the power of philosophy to change the world, ask the right questions, speak up against violence and abuse.
I always found philosophy really hard at uni, but now I’ve started to realize that maybe we need to revisit some of the fundamental questions again to overcome the strifes in society…

I hope you are all healthy and safe and protect yourself from 🦠! Remember to wear mask 😷 and follow good hand hygiene! Shea soap is great for frequent hand washing as it is cleasing but also moisturizing and does not dry your hands! 🤩🙏 We have various colours and scents available in our webshop. What’s your favourite?

NB! There is also unscented natural shea soap available for extra sensitive skin. ✌️💛

RIP Archbishop Desmond Tutu 💔. Saddened by the death of the famous human rights activist and last surviving South African laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize. He fought for justice and gave voice to those who had no voice. Great legacy of compassion, peace and reconciliation 🥰🙏

I just love the writings of Amanda Gorman! 😍😘 And there is definitely light ahead for the US if she will become the president in 2036 (she plans to run for president then)! 🙂🙏👍

Let’s hope there will be light on the other side of the tunnel for this pandemic too. 🤞🙏💛

Imagine all the people having their human rights respected? “You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one”. 🙏✌️ Today’s the international human rights day! 🙏👍💪👏🙌 to all the dreamers and human rights defenders in the world 🌍! 💛💛💛

Posted @withregram • @unesco "Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world...
...Imagine all the people, living life in peace..."

Today we pay tribute to a dreamer, a dreamer whose dreams we are working to make come true. Let's imagine. Let's dream. Let's build peace... today and every day.

This our hommage to John Lennon, who died on this day in 1980. His dream of peace is still alive and we will make it come true. Will you help us?
