Meet Courtney

​

In a world where self-care was foreign to me, I embarked on a personal quest to discover its true meaning. As a young black woman, I realized the importance of nurturing oneself, despite the challenges life presented. My own transformation fueled a deep desire to share this newfound understanding with others in similar situations.

In 2018, I took a leap of faith, leaving behind my possessions and embarking on a soul-searching journey through Europe. Along the way, I encountered individuals with amazing talents and dreams but struggled to market their passion projects. It struck me then, why not create a space that could help them? Thus, Passion Geeks was born.

Although I had never sold my own products before, I dove into crafting a line of all-natural self-care products under the Passion brand. I wanted to ensure future Passion Geeks that I could sell their products authentically. Body oils, home oils, body scrubs, and more became expressions of my dedication to helping others feel as good as they deserve.

Setting up at my first event filled me with trepidation. Would people connect with my vision? But as the hours passed and the positive feedback poured in, I felt an overwhelming warmth in the depths of my heart. I had created something that resonated with others, something that was meaningful and worthwhile.

It was during another event that I truly understood the profound impact my business could have on people's lives. A young woman approached, curious about waist beads and concerned about cultural appropriation. As I explained their origin and significance, tears welled up in her eyes. With intention and care, I tied the waist beads, symbolizing her journey of self-love and self-expression. In that moment, she released her pain and embraced her true identity. The gratitude she expressed and her ongoing support affirmed the power of what I had built.

The path to building Passion Geeks has been riddled with challenges. But I know that if I don't pursue this mission, I would be doing a disservice not only to myself but also to those who find solace and empowerment through my products. The messages I receive about the positive impact they have on people's lives remind me why I continue this journey.

Passion Geeks stands as a rebellion against societal norms and expectations. We invite everyone, regardless of appearance, identity, or background, to embrace their true selves. We believe in the power of positive thinking, self-acceptance, and authenticity. When these values guide our work, we create a ripple effect that fosters a better future for generations to come.

To witness a single life transformed by our products fills me with an indescribable sense of fulfillment. I remember the days of battling low self-esteem, searching for an outlet to express my emotions. Now, knowing that I've created a space where others can find their authentic selves and explore styles, scents, and accessories that resonate with them brings me immense joy.
