BLACK WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR LAUNCHES NEW LINE OF ORGANIC, PREMIUM HEMP-DERIVED CBD PRODUCTS

Nationwide --  NuEvo Organics, one of the few Black women-owned companies in the expanding and competitive CBD industry, offers a wide range of premium-quality CBD products including gummies, tinctures, topicals, and pet products. This business is fueled by passion, purpose, and family.

Founder Odette Christie, an HR executive, first discovered CBD when she sought a natural intervention for her son, who has autism. When he began to exhibit hyperactivity as a young adult, THC-free CBD gummies helped with his stress and anxiety levels. After her whole family experienced incredible results after taking CBD, Odette embarked on a mission to help others experience the health benefits of CBD.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she established NuEvo Organics, a CBD store with a purpose. “Our online CBD store represents a new evolution of premium hemp-derived CBD wellness products. All of our CBD tinctures, gummies, capsules, and other products are made from the highest quality CBD derived from only US-grown and regulation-compliant hemp farms,” says Odette.

Nationwide  Waist Forever, a Black-owned innovative fitness company, has launched a collection of unique waist trainers with celebrity Amara La Negra, who stars in VH1's Love and Hip Hop. The waist trainers give women an instant hourglass figure, and with consistent use, it gives more permanent results by actually molding an hourglass shape.

The newly launched collection is floral in design and is ideal for people who want to achieve or enhance their hourglass figure while also supporting a good cause. Within the collection, there are three different styles, a waist trainer with one, two, or three straps. The Amara Maximillia: 1 Strap Waist Trainer Floral Beauty option offers wearers comfort, style, and can aid weight loss around the midsection.

Waist Forever says the neoprene compression can make the waistline look smaller and can be discreetly worn to the gym, work, or while running errands. The Amara Maximillia collection is designed to create a sauna effect that targets the midsection and core. This increases how much a person sweats during their workout, which can help to burn fat faster, reshape and reduce fat deposits, and support weight loss.
