How It All Started
As a young adult she moved to Washington, DC where she had her first opportunity to learn a different language and culture. She was also able to observe how businesses operate in a different environment. When she returned to Africa a few years later, she finally got her opportunity to open her own business, first importing cosmetic products to Ethiopia and later producing shea butter hair and skin care products in Uganda.
The Founder of Queen of Sheba, Nardos Abebe Yauney, was born and raised in the small town of Nazreth, Ethiopia. From a young age she had an interest in business and dreamed of one day opening her own. Her first working experiences were in restaurants in Ethiopia. Although she was able to see and learn how a business operates, her dream of opening her own still seemed very far away.
Now resettled in the U.S. she offers shea butter products (produce with organic nilotica (East African) shea butter), and continues to produce works of original art, both available for purchase on this site.
