With her unwavering dedication to natural haircare and skincare, Linda Gieskes-Mwamba has taken the beauty industry by storm, revolutionising how we celebrate African beauty and promoting sustainability.
The lawyer, who's pro-Africa, has always wanted to see more goods being exported from the continent and being represented in the global market.
From playing with her mother's beauty creams and perfumes in her bathroom as a child to being the face behind one of South Africa's skincare and haircare brands, she has always had the passion to be a part of a movement that puts African goods on the global market.
As the founder of Suki Suki Naturals, the businesswoman says hers is more than just a brand; it celebrates joyful beauty derived from rich African roots. Linda's vision was to extract a symphony of the best natural ingredients from Africa to create the highest-quality, clean haircare and skincare products. Inspired by ancestral beauty rituals, Linda's passion for African beauty traditions shines through in every product she creates.
