OBIA Naturals @HueAffair Tour

Hey dolls! It’s Keah, back at it again with another review (lol jk). This week’s post is about a wonderful event I attended this past weekend. On Saturday May 19th, I had the privilege of attending the HueAffair Tour as a volunteer brand ambassador for OBIA Naturals. HueAffair is an annual hair show that has a bunch of different vendors selling hair and body products at discounted prices you won’t believe. Camille Rose Naturals, Palmers, TGIN, by Made Beautiful, and OBIA Naturals were some of the vendors there, just to name a few. OBIA Naturals is a brother/sister duo company consisting of Obia Ewah and Omini Ewah who create natural hair and skincare products that utiliza natural ingredients, are vegan, and pH balanced.

Obia Ewah was born in Cross River State, Nigeria. Her family moved to the US when she was just 5 years old; Dallas, Texas to be precise. Soon after her baby brother Omini was born. Obia was diagnosed with thyroid cancer while she was finishing up medical school in Texas. Thankfully, she was able to beat the cancer and decided to make a change in her life to switch to more natural products for her body inside and out; and with her Bachelors degree in both biology and chemistry and a Masters in public health, OBIA Naturals was born!

Obia began experimenting with making hair products when she was 22 and by 29 her hobby became a flourishing business and officially launched in 2012. Her younger brother, Omini, was studying nursing around that time, but when he saw what his sister was doing he knew he had to help and support her so he dropped what he was doing and climbed on board with Obia and her mission.

They say that sometimes bad things happen so that something good could come out of it. As strange as it may seem, had it not been for Obia’s battle with cancer, OBIA Naturals might not have come into being and we wouldn’t be blessed with these amazing products for our hair and body. It was such a pleasure working with Obia and Omini at this event. They’re super friendly, very informative and extremely passionate about what they do. Obia creates the concoctions, while Omini markets and sells them. Isn’t hat amazing?! These two make a wonderful team! I was fortunate enough to receive some products from OBIA Naturals to review so stay tuned for those posts in the near future (Thanks Obia and Omini)!
