"AYÉYA is a mission first organization and represents women from West Africa that are using traditional methods to create our products. What we're doing is to make sure that people have a place where they can aggregate what they're cultivating or gathering and then be able to sell it at a price that they can support their communities with. AYÉYA's relationship with Whole Foods Market is about share values, working towards one common goal: to ensure that the communities in America have healthy product and the communities who are making the product in West Africa are able to put a meal on their table everyday. With Whole Foods, we have a platform to distribute this product, allowing us to create impact on the ground", Olowo-n'djo Tchala.

These numbers will only continue to flourish thanks to AYÉYA. Even more remarkable though is Olo’s heart of gold.

It was a true privilege to get to work with Olowo-n'djo Tchala on the launch of his new #WholeBody line, called AYÉYA, which means "life in balance." Ayeya was a recent recipient of one of Whole Foods Market's #smallbusinessloans -- one of our largest yet. Our goal was to support this brand's launch in stores -- happening this month! 📅 -- and provide financial support to a company with whom we have shared values, including ethical sourcing practices and community empowerment. Please enjoy this piece about this special company, its mission, products, and launch at Whole Foods Market. And keep an eye out for AYÉYA products on your next visit to our stores! #TeamWFM https://lnkd.in/ghc2BR_C
