  • I would agree cut out the middle man to make a huge profit.... Enjoyed the video... It's very informative...

  • OMG I see her dipping mounds of gorgeous shea out of that pot with her hands and I just wanna jump in that pot and bathe in it! This is truly wonderful what they are doing. We all need to support fair trade shea butter products.

  • It's good to see women empowering themselves like that in a cooperative setting. Especially with naturals that are all around them. I enjoyed this video. Thank you for uploading it.

  • I think what was most important that was spoken from this video is that the women should profit from the labor that they give to make it available to us here in America. You see how that man stated that he needs more women to make the shea butter so HE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY! How horrible is that,they are the ones doing the hard labor yet it is the men that are taking all the profit, the important thing is equal pay for equal labor.

  • I just want know how i can get my raw shea butter straight from the women who work so hard to make it!

  • Is it possible to buy pure unrefined 100% shea butter that has not gone through a middle man like the guy shown in this video? Please let me know where. He offended me and though I need the shea butter, I hate the idea that I am helping him get rich off of women who work themselves so hard. If I misunderstood please let me know.

  • I really enjoyed meeting these wonderful sistahs at the 2011 Smithsonian Folk Life Festival.

  • What kind of proverb is that.....

  • @moderadonna contact me for shea butter

  • This is beautiful!!
