ABOUT THE NAME enyi

The word "enyi," symbolizing the spirit of a lion, a fighter, someone who never surrenders, perfectly encapsulates the essence of our brand. Like the majestic lion, our range of essential oils, body butters, and body oils represent strength, resilience, and the power of nature. Each product in our collection is not just a blend of ingredients; it's a narrative, a symbol of perseverance and vitality.

Our bottles, each named after powerful symbols from rich cultural heritages, tell their unique stories. The "Sankofa" bottle, signifying the importance of learning from the past, is filled with rejuvenating oils that remind us to nourish our roots and heritage. "Duafe," symbolizing beauty and femininity, contains blends that enhance natural beauty and grace, encouraging a sense of self-love and care.

"Odo Nnyew Fie Kwan," meaning "love never loses its way home," is a testament to enduring passion and commitment, reflected in the deeply invigorating scents that rekindle the spirit. "Dwennimmen," symbolizing humility and strength, holds robust, grounding scents that inspire confidence and humility in one’s journey.

Lastly, "Osram ne Nsoromma," the symbol of love, faithfulness, and harmony between the moon and the star, is mirrored in our harmonious blends that promote balance and inner peace.

Each bottle, each scent, is a reminder that the Enyi spirit resides within us all - the courage of a lion, the resilience of a fighter, and the unwavering spirit of someone who never gives up. Our products are not just skincare; they are a lifestyle choice for the motivated, the brave, and those who relentlessly pursue their dreams.

ABOUT ME & MY MISSION

I am Francis, a Nigerian who lives in Germany - I founded enyi 2 years ago. enyi is located in Germany and Nigeria with its mission to offer and promote products made in West Africa to bring value in form of fair wages to local producers and processors. From our perspective, the African continent is the most resource-abundant continent. Almost every country in Africa has a high deposit of natural resources.

But processing and production takes place mostly on other continents like Asia. In other words, value addition happens somewhere else while most raw products are exported at very low price levels. And on the other hand, the African continent has been in vogue for a couple of years. Big fashion brands, well-known car brands, banks, insurance companies - all advertise with Black models.

A world-renowned Swedish furniture store recently launched an African collection. This is supposed to strike a chord with customers - but leaves out the local people. Moreover, there is still an image in people's minds that the African continent can be saved with charity campaigns. This is where my brand enyi comes into play. With enyi, I want to sell products "Made in West Africa" and let the local producers and processors participate.

I invest and develop products together, which are then sold under my brand. It is important to me that the products are produced and processed in West Africa and that I can make a contribution at the local community level.

DECOLONIZD

On my way to found a business I just realized that there is still long way to go to decolonize our worldwide mindsets.
The colonial way, still ongoing, affects communities deeply. Across the globe, Indigenous communities are fighting to regain access to their land or fighting to protect land that is constantly threatened by forces looking to profit off of natural resources. Its time to rethink and reflect and start to decolonize. Decolonization is work and a needed process that needs to be done to all of us, everywhere.
We believe that its urgently needed to reflect about our behaviour, habits and also consumption patterns. Whom or what business ideas do we support with what we consume.
I want to start to rethink and learn- we investigate in research on our Instagram (decolonizd) and with our blog to contribute on the mission in decolonizing products we use.
