Risha Brown

Risha Brown is the visionary entrepreneur behind Vera Organix, a sustainable, female-run business that specializes in creating organic artisanal self-care products. But Vera Organix is more than just a business—it's a platform that harnesses resources to address the mental health needs of BIPOC and LGBTQ communities. 

Inspired by her late mother, who emphasized the importance of self-care, Risha aims to impact lives by helping individuals create better self-care routines that support a healthy mind. As a teenager, Risha faced struggles with depression and anxiety. Her mother consistently emphasized the importance of maintaining a self-care routine. She hopes to inspire those who have not yet embarked on their self-care journey to take that crucial first step.

“Good for your body. Good for your soul.”  At Vera Organix, it creates products with lush ingredients that make you feel like a self-care superstar. The company strongly believes in nourishing bodies and souls ethically, which is why they exclusively use organic ingredients that are not only good for you but also good for the environment.
