The 2025 Shea Butter Festival was a beautiful blend of joy, purpose, and community. Hosted in celebration of the incredible women from Wa, Ghana who produce our sustainably made shea butter, this year’s festival was our biggest and most heartfelt yet.

From the moment the gates opened, the air buzzed with energy. Local vendors like Heritage Brewing brought fresh flavors to the scene—guests raved about their refreshing mango beer, a tropical twist that perfectly complemented the sunny afternoon. Laughter and music filled the grounds as families, students, and supporters explored handmade crafts, sampled shea-based products, and learned more about the regenerative, women-led work behind WIAN.


One of the most moving moments of the day came during the keynote speech by the Ghanaian Minister of Labor, who spoke powerfully about gender equity, sustainable enterprise, and the strength of intercontinental solidarity. His words honored the legacy and labor of the women of Wa and reminded us all why we gather each year: to uplift, empower, and build lasting impact together.

The festival closed on a high note with captivating performances from local dancers and drummers, whose rhythms and movements told stories of heritage, resilience, and celebration. Guests of all ages danced along, a living expression of the unity and joy we strive to cultivate every day.


Most importantly, this year’s festival allowed us to provide direct support to women from Wa, Ghana, celebrating not just their work, but their leadership in shaping a more sustainable and inclusive future. Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, and continues to believe in the power of women in action.
