Started with experiments in my mother’s kitchen in Ghana 🇬🇭. Now my brand ESSIESPICE is available in almost 200 Target stores in CA, NJ, CT, NY, PA, MD, VA, D.C & DE. Bringing Joy in a jar, one shelf at a time! #EssieSpice #BlackOwned #WomanOwned #BlackGirlMagic #Retail

I love the ESSIESPICE story! It's the flavor for me ..building upon tradition in ways that move us forward, keep us relevant, championing innovation. #BlackBeyondMeasure #IIBBM

Thank you to everyone who watched, shared and joined our conversation❤️ To my sisters Jadeofalljades Julia Brown Sugarbaker for helping me bring a convo that means a lot to me to life. And to Your Spice Plug of ESSIESPICE for sharing Ghana & her family story with us. #IIBBM

When you come from an African home (most of them with the history of colonialism), emotions and practical solutions to problems are always playing third fiddle. Everything is spiritual, everything needs prayers! It’s exhausting #IIBBM #BlackBeyondMeasure

We won’t heal unless we do the work and actually start to peel back the layers and talk about it. Everything is brushed aside so most views seem like “the way things are supposed to be, don’t rock the boat”. LETS ROCK THE BOAT #IIBBM #BlackBeyondMeasure

This. Someone can be one thing today. And a completely different thing the next. Sometimes it’s not personal. Learn to be able to handle the switch no matter what.

Thank you Target for believing in this girl’s dream! From Accra to the world 🌍 #IIBBM #BlackBeyondMeasure

A blessing and a curse! 😅😭

Thank you king crissle BLACK AMERICAN PRINCESS Jasmyn for helping us kick this episode off on Twitter. Y’all are brilliant ❤️ Tune in next week for the third and final installment of Illuminating Intersectionality where we talk about Race, Food & Culture - hosted by Jadeofalljades

We TRULY need to learn to have ease and leisure. Our ancestors didn’t toil all those years for us to ALWAYS be hustling! #IIBBM #BlackBeyondMeasure

Thank you so much! I will waiting for your recipes and you licking your fingers and plate 🤤 #IIBBM #BlackBeyondMeasure

When you’ve tried everything and nothing is working… pray for me. I need a miracle 🙏🏾 #EmotionallyExhausted

It’s the #GhanaJollof

😅😅😅

I did. And I’ll try to find time for Bridgerton. Working backwards. Hope it’s as good as Queen Charlotte

Just when we catch our breath, they increase it again! No words… one of my payments went from 1200 to 1600 in two years 😭💆🏾‍♀️🙏🏾

Not all women are meant to sit and look pretty — some are meant to lead empires … Me: As I sit, look pretty, and lead an empire (So Help Me God)

The Derrick Jaxn’s of the world! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Hiiii! Thanks so much for your support! You can shop on Essiespice.com directly. You can also shop in Wholefoods if you’re in NY/NJ/CT and also in select Target locations. Thanks again

We don’t have a need for demos at the moment but will keep you in mind for the future. We have steak recipes on our website and yes, the steak in Ghana tastes really really different to the steak in the US.
