Ayebea's Sankofa Marketplace

We continue to stand on tradition as Sankofa teaches us learn from the past and move forward with wisdom. As a result, we believe in "Fawohodie"

At Ayebea's Sankofa Marketplace, every handmade piece carries more than beauty; it carries someone’s livelihood, pride, and story. The Adinkra symbol "Fawohodie" reminds us that true freedom comes through dignified work and fair opportunity.

Video: handmade, organic, unadulterated, nothing forced! Your purchase of our shea butter helps the women of Sabruka Shea Village gain a sustainable livelihood through dignified work and fair opportunity.

Purpose doesn’t rush. It moves with intention, even when the road feels slower than expected. Sankɔfa encourages us to learn from the past and move forward with wisdom.

Video: While visiting the women of Sabruka Shea Village, we were welcomed with a traditional welcome beverage made with shea butter, millet and water. Very refreshing!

Exciting news for small businesses!

Today, we joined Mayor Brandon and fellow Chicago Fair Trade members for the “Cut the Tape for Small Business” initiative — a powerful step toward reducing barriers and streamlining support for entrepreneurs across Chicago.

At Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace, we know how much heart, hustle, and hope go into every small business dream. This initiative reminds us that when small businesses thrive, our communities do too.

So as you shop this holiday season (and all year long), remember to shop small, shop local, and shop fair trade; because every purchase truly makes a difference.
