    I'm gonna have to go to Afrika and make a direct connection with these sisters to buy shea from them so they can get all the money! It's a shame they don't make a lot of money for all that hard labor. I pray that this changes in a more direct profitable way for them. Peace and blessings!

    To everyone asking where to buy shea butter, look for fair trade cooperatives. When you buy fair trade you are supporting the women, not the middle men. Agbanga Karite is a good one on Togo, also known as Alaffia/Everyday Shea/Beautiful Curls. Some other good ones are Ojoba Collective, Sekaf International, Songtaabe, and the ones mentioned in this video. When buying shea butter, always make sure that you are buying fair trade so that the money is going to the right place.

    I think what was most important that was spoken from this video is that the women should profit from the labor that they give to make it available to us here in America. You see how that man stated that he needs more women to make the shea butter so HE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY! How horrible is that,they are the ones doing the hard labor yet it is the men that are taking all the profit, the important thing is equal pay for equal labor.

    Is it possible to buy pure unrefined 100% shea butter that has not gone through a middle man like the guy shown in this video? Please let me know where. He offended me and though I need the shea butter, I hate the idea that I am helping him get rich off of women who work themselves so hard. If I misunderstood please let me know.
