Plant Lady Juice Co.
Plant Lady Juice Co. sporuted from an aligned encouter at the local organic food store between its founders Akilah Cherri and Jennifer Kanyamibwa. Jennifer told Akilah about her aspirations to start a thriving urban food garden in her West Atlanta home, and their friendship bloomed from there.
Under Akilah’s guidance and mentorship, Jennifer planted and nurtured a garden that nourishes her family and her community (and you through our products). That partnership led to Jennifer commissioning Akilah to cultivate custom juices, teas and elixirs for her company’s 2022 conference in Atlanta.
… and that event led to Akilah providing juices, teas and elixirs to Atlanta Public School teachers.
… and that led to Akilah inviting Jennifer to co-found Plant Lady Juice Co.
