I have a degree in Gastronomy and married a professional athlete, I sought to reconcile my financial independence with the constant travels to accompany my husband in championships and tournaments.  So as I started my hair transition, I started to pay more attention to African jewelry and adornments. Hence the idea of reselling these pieces with a friend in order to empower black women.  It didn't take us long to realize that we could make it, and so we did, with that, Chinua Acessories was born!"
