Today we celebrate International Women’s Day – a global event recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political successes of women. This year’s theme is “Embracing Equity” and aims to create a more inclusive world free of gender bias and discrimination.
At Kyra’s Shea Medleys, female empowerment is at the heart of everything we do. As a woman-owned brand, we strive to create lush, natural hair and skincare products that inspire confidence and self-love in all women. Our journey is one of passion, hard work, and breaking through barriers.
