True Moringa
Information
Born and raised in Ghana, Kwami Williams is no stranger to the beautiful botanical wealth of Ghana. He grew up moisturizing with shea butter, cleansing with black soap, and feasting on his mother's famous stews and soups made with local vegetables and spices.
His family won the Diversity Visa lottery and immigrated to the US when he was eight, and By 2012, he was living the American Dream having graduated from MIT with a degree in aerospace engineering and starting a career at NASA when a mentor challenged him to return to his native Ghana.
When he finally did after over a decade in the US, he saw his home country and the superfood crops that surrounded him through new eyes - brimming with potential to create wealth for Ghanian farmers living on less than $2/day.
He teamed up with co-founder Emily Cunningham, a Harvard trained development economist who had worked in microfinance in India before studying affordable technology design at MIT's D-lab. They listened and learned from farmers, scientists, and herbalists who taught them about the incredible benefits of the moringa tree for health, for skincare, and for the climate.
Together, they set about building True Moringa with the mission of bringing the superfood botanicals of Ghana to millions of customers around the world in a way that achieves wellness for people and the planet.
