KINDRED PAPER - Go Forward Card
Savannah Stephens, Founder
Savannah Stephens grew up in a family where handwritten notes mattered, but as an adult, she struggled to find cards that reflected the people in her own life. She began creating them herself and eventually launched Kindred Paper, designing vibrant cards that celebrate Black culture and community while creating something she hopes to pass on to her daughters.
The Go Forward Card offers a simple reminder to keep moving, even when it takes courage. There's a special full-circle connection to this one: Savannah is also the person who shared the Backing Every Business opportunity with me.

THULISA NATURALS - Reconnect to Rest Shower Steamers
Anusha Fabio, Thulisa Naturals
Growing up in a small town on South Africa's east coast, Anusha developed an early connection to nature and its ability to create a sense of calm. After 15 years as an occupational therapist specializing in sensory integration and neurological rehabilitation, her own experience with motherhood and postpartum life inspired her to create Thulisa Naturals in 2017, bringing that understanding of the senses into restorative everyday rituals. The name Thulisa means “bringer of peace” in Zulu.
The Patchouli & Lime Intention Shower Steamers are designed to create a grounding, aromatic shower ritual with warm, earthy patchouli and bright lime. To use, lightly wet a steamer until it begins to fizz, then place it on the shower floor or ledge, just outside the direct stream of water, and breathe in the aroma.
