By age 19, the widowed mother of four was selling Shea Butter, African Black Soap and her homemade hair and skin preparations all over the countryside. Sofi Tucker was our Grand Mother and Sheamoisture is her legacy. Her story is no different than that of millions of poor women in under-developed countries seeking a better life.
