Ma ʻApelila 10, 2022, no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka National Siblings Day, ke kaikuahine a me ke kaikunāne, ʻo Lake Louise lāua ʻo Keba Konte i hoʻokumu i kā lāua hui lōʻihi o kahi huahana hou a hoihoi, ʻo Charcoal Vanilla Latte Facial Mask.
ʻO ka manaʻo o ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka mālama ʻili (Lotus Moon), ʻo ia ka wahi o Lake o ka loea, a me ka kofe (Red Bay), ʻo ia ka wahi o Keba o ka ʻike hui pū, ʻaʻole paha no kēia mau kaikaina ʻoihana akamai i ka ʻoihana.
Wahi a Lake, "ʻO ka ulu ʻana ma San Francisco Haight-Ashbury i ka makahiki 1960 kahi manawa i paipai ʻia ai ka noʻonoʻo ʻokoʻa. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o māua me koʻu kaikunāne i ulu ai ... hoʻopuni ʻia e ka paipai ʻana e alualu a hana i nā mea a ko mākou naʻau e noʻonoʻo ai.
ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana o kā lākou huahana hou, ʻo Charcoal Vanilla Latte Facial Mask, he nānā i ka mōʻaukala ʻeleʻele. Hoʻohui ia i ka kofe ʻo Red Bay's Carver's Dream - i kapa ʻia ma muli o George Washington Carver i hānau hoʻoluhi ʻia a lilo i hoʻokahi o nā ʻepekema kaulana loa a me nā mea hana i kona manawa, a me ke kumu ma Tuskegee - me nā pālolo, ka lanahu hoʻōla, vanilla, a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe. - nā pauka i koho ʻia mai ka waihona waiwai o Lotus Moon.
ʻO ka wehe ʻana i kā lākou hana hou, ʻo ka Charcoal Vanilla Latte Facial Mask, ʻo ia ka hopena o kā lākou ʻoihana kūikawā - e hana ana i kahi huahana e aloha ai nā wahine a me nā kāne.
ʻO ka mea hoʻonaʻauao mua, ʻo Lake kahi haumāna Stanford a hoʻokumu i kāna hōʻailona mālama ʻili hou, ʻo Lotus Moon. Ua hana ʻo Ms. Louise i kāna hōʻailona paionia ma kēia kahua hoʻokūkū he 20 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, e hoʻolauna ana i ka hui pū ʻana o ka maikaʻi, ka nani, a me ka hoʻohui.
Ma hope o ka noiʻi luhi e pili ana i nā meaʻai olakino, ua hoʻolaha ʻo ia i kāna laina kūʻokoʻa o nā huahana; ʻO Lotus Moon Skin Care i ka makahiki 2002 a me Plain Jane Beauty i ka makahiki 2010. ʻO ka manaʻo o Lake ka hoʻohui ʻana i ke ʻano a me ka ʻepekema e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ke kaʻina ola o ka ʻili. E ho'ōla a ho'ōla i ka ʻili a kākoʻo maikaʻi i ke kaʻina hana ʻelemakule maoli.
ʻO Keba ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Red Bay Coffee Company i hoʻokumu ʻia ma 2014. He mea pena kaulana ʻo ia a he ʻoihana meaʻai kūleʻa, me nā aʻa hohonu i ka ʻoihana kofe kūikawā ʻo San Francisco Bay Area. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Keba, “Ua kālua ʻia kēia kofe lanakila me ke aloha. ʻO kā mākou mau pīni kofe akamai e hana i nā mea inu kakahiaka e hoʻomālamalama i kou lā.
Ua ʻae kāna mau mea kūʻai pono. Hāʻawi pū ʻo Mr. Konte i ke kaiāulu ma o ka hoʻolimalima ʻana a me ka lawelawe ʻana i ka poʻe marginalized, ka mea i nānā ʻole ʻia a kuhi hewa ʻia, me ka poʻe o ke kala, nā mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma mua, nā wahine, a me nā poʻe kino kīnā.
Ke hana pū nei, ua mākaukau kēia duo ikaika e hoʻololi i ka helehelena o ka nani.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- ʻO ka wehe ʻana i kā lākou hana hou, ʻo ka Charcoal Vanilla Latte Facial Mask, ʻo ia ka hopena o kā lākou ʻoihana kūikawā - e hana ana i kahi huahana e aloha ai nā wahine a me nā kāne.
- Ma ʻApelila 10, 2022, no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka National Siblings Day, ke kaikuahine a me ke kaikunāne, ʻo Lake Louise lāua ʻo Keba Konte i hoʻokumu i kā lāua hui lōʻihi o kahi huahana hou a hoihoi, ʻo Charcoal Vanilla Latte Facial Mask.
- Konte also gives back to the community by hiring and serving the marginalized, which are so often overlooked and misrepresented, including people of color, the formerly incarcerated, women, and people with disabilities.
