What we’re about
Hello, beautiful souls. I'm Nkatha Kimathi, your chief "sabon artisanale," the heartbeat of Pamoja Pamoja, and the spirit behind "Desert Lather & Libations -Sip and Soap Soirée . My journey unfolded on the vibrant streets of New York, where I sowed the seeds of my dream: a soap-making oasis that would nurture entrepreneurial spirits and craft organic masterpieces. Herbal Harlem was born from this dream, not just as a brand, but as a sanctuary for young visionaries to flourish under my wing, learning to weave their futures with the threads of business and artistry.
As the sun dips below the vast Arizona horizon, I invite you to our creative studio—a canvas where the desert's magic infuses every creation. For a nominal fee you join me on a fragrant voyage, a celebration under the Arizonian sky, where the grand Saguaro's soul infuses every bar and the sunset's palette colors our craft. We'll dance through the secret canyons of cold process soap making, our hands telling tales of desert blooms and clays, our laughter mingling with the clink of ice as we toast with prickly pear cocktails, our spirits soaring high with the roadrunners.
But our soirée is more than a class; it's a heartfelt crusade. We craft not just for pleasure, but for purpose—to envelop our community in the warmth of handmade soaps, to offer solace through scents and suds to those in need. Our gatherings are a tapestry of connection, each bar of soap a pledge of care, each bubble a whisper of hope.
In this alchemy of oils and essences, I've found a profound therapy and the joy of new friendships. I've discovered that in teaching the art of soap crafting, I'm spreading a healing balm for the soul. So come, let's make suds in the sun. Let's share stories, laughter, and the touch of human kinship. Together, we'll watch as Herbal Harlem blossoms into a haven of well-being, where the desert's spirit guides our creations, and where every bar of soap is a story—a story of resilience, community, and the enchanting dance of the desert's dusk.
Join me, and let's pour our hearts into the mold of Arizona's beauty.
