Harriet Ng'ok, Founder and CEO at Harriet's Botanicals describes her business as “a company that retails miti shamba” which is mainly sourced from the Rift Valley region. Her simple, no frills, localised and authentic description aligns perfectly with the ethos and remarkable journey of this business. In her conversation with Dr. Njoki Ngumi, they discuss the common health issues which are prevalent in our context, addressing health and overall wellness through traditional medicines, bringing these natural medicines to urban and diaspora audiences, and, how access to grant funding has allowed them to progress. You’ll definitely be engaged!
