Akousa Asare was our very first guest when OVBB first launched to talk to me all about her first business, Essence Luxe Couture Wigs. She even had the opportunity to appear on Dragon’s Den AND scored herself a deal. But it was leaving her stressed and completely unmotivated. Once Akos knew it was time to shut it down and walk away, she followed her true passion of producing organic, local and sustainable farm-fresh produce and flowers. And so, Re.Planted Urban Farm was created.
We talk all about the root behind Re.Planted, composting and organic produce, her “prescription flower CSA” and why this boss babe is back in full force for 2022!
