I found this great store online called Two Tribes One Nation (https://twotribesonenation.us). They had a lot of unique hard to find products that I have never seen before. The owner Carl was very professional, and now I have an authentic Dan Mask. I got a great deal. It was appraised for more than what I purchased it for and I couldn’t be happier. They have a lot of their products on IG, FB, Youtube, and Pinterest.
Hi, I see here a wonderful place to meet with good people to do business. I welcome you to meet to chat for soapstone carving products, wooden carvings, baskets, beaded sandals from Kenya, etc. I welcome you all with a warm heart.
Hello. I am from Canada and I want to know where can I order online a cream for eczema called ANGEL CREAM from Ghana?
Hi Genevieve. Did a quick search on Google, but all I could find were videos from YouTube (Angel Tv Ghana). Hope you find what you’re looking for, all the best.
Best option would be to find someone locally to purchase.
Before you think of cream for eczema think of the soap you use. Contact me for a plant based all natural African Raw Black Soap. Contact me at http://www.facebook.com/Kubadecorbywhispers.
Hello Geneveive, kindly contact me for the soap.
You forgot to add the best African online market place, http://www.amooti.org, which specifically empowers African artisans,while sharing the African culture through art, crafts, fashion and accessories.
Thanks for sharing this, Diane. All the best. 🙂
