JJ's Organic Beauty Products - Deonte and his mom Jahnet







Deonte who is 18 and his mom Jahnet man this booth which specializes in beauty products and clothing from Africa; Shea butter from Ghana, Dashikis composed of mud cloth from Mali and Kenya. They alternate with mom working Saturdays and he on Sunday.  Mom was born in Ethiopia of a Creole French father from Louisiana.  A former 9th grade English teacher laid off from the Miramar school system she wanted to do something that encouraged her sons to relate to people while nurturing the earth using fair trade sustainable products.  It takes a Shea nut tree up to 45 years to bear fruit.  A mainstay is Black soap which gets rid of ring worms, is good for rashes, excellent for psoriasis and rosacea. Through her enterprise Jahnet has realized her dream of  providing precious bounty of the earth from the motherland.
