From the Founder
"Sunu Body was founded by a 16 year old, overly passionate, ambitious girl who had a love for waist beads and people. As the daughter of Senegalese immigrants, I often felt caught between identities, struggling to feel fully connected to either. I started this brand for those who want to authentically connect back home."
