Leave it out pleeeeze. This is not a 'debating black businesses' thread.

I tell you what BP, for the sake of the thread i'll let you have the last word. And if you are so interested in how they actuallycontribute to the community why don't you visit the shop in Brixton and direct your enquiry toYinka and family. You can enquire aboutthe otherblack people who are using Nubian natural to launch their own unique products? and while you are at italso enquire about the workshops theysetup toempower the community on business ownership, money management, networking etc.

Hello Nubian Naturals, goodbye Body Shop.
Big thank you to Mezmerized. Took a trip to Briston today and I can safely say that I died and went to heaven. Had not planned on spending much, however ended up spending a small fortune in there! The sister was very helpful, by the way Mez, she said a BIG thank you as she has been trying to advertise on BN for sometime. I even bought the tee shirt and some jewelery. I have just used the honey and brown sugar scrub and the honey and brown sugar body butter, may I just say,I smell heavenly! I got2 types of soap, body lotion, shea butter, hair spray, shampoo and conditioner, hand lotion, lip balm, and a book. The sister that helped me is an author as well!
So Mez and Abs, thank you.

Almost all the products aresuitable to use on sensitive skin.Take a look around the site and read up,alternatively give them a ring on the no above and they'll explain what products best suit your skin type.

This is not strictly true,I know car-dealers,mortgage brokers,jewelry and clothing vendors,organic food sellers,caterers etc,etc. My friend had a dog walking business and she made serious BANK,I would have worked with her too were it not for the fact that i'm quite squeamish.
