Get a Taste of Tahiti with Be Kekoa!

[GIVEAWAY INSIDE!] Get a Taste of Tahiti with Be Kekoa
Before the Toa Moa Opening Ceremony
It's no secret that I absolutely love Brandie and everything she and the Be Kekoa brand represents. In a day and age where businesses and brands are clamoring for your coins, it's nice to be able to cut through the noise and experience authenticity. Experience a brand that truly cares about its customers.

Experience a brand that believes in giving back and empowering people of color.

I've shared the story a few times, but for those who may not have caught wind, here's an excerpt of why I'm super proud of Brandie and the Be Kekoa Team:

Tamanu Family
The beloved Tamanu and Cocomanu oils sold by the Be Kekoa brand are imported directly from Huahine, and other islands in Polynesia in an exclusive, fair-trade agreement with local communities. Through this agreement, the families that produce the Tamanu and Cocomanu oils by hand on the islands are directly empowered economically and able to provide for themselves and lived an improved quality of life. Every drop of both oils is harvested, pressed, and crafted by hand - following ancient traditions of oil making; and the families doing it are compensated fairly and appropriately for their arduous work and time invested in production. I witnessed it for myself - how the oils are produced, and how each purchase financially empowers these families.

The nut of the Tamanu Fruit - pure gold in there.
Most major companies (save for a few) don't give a damn about empowering communities of color. They'd rather exploit people of color and indigenous communities for their knowledge, take advantage of their natural resources, and then cut them completely out of the picture financially. Those same companies dilute the natural product, add in fillers and crap, and then turn around and market a subpar bottle of junk at a ridiculously inflated price.

Y'all believe me when I say Tamanu and Cocomanu are not just oils. Lives are literally changing through Be Kekoa.

Which brings me to Taste of Tahiti in Temecula, California.

Taste of Tahiti is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by a small group from the island of Huahine with two objectives. One, to raise awareness  and keep the traditions of the triangle of the Pacific (Polynesian islands, New Zealand, Hawaii) alive through culture, food, music, dance and people. Two, to host events of the same name in an effort to foster positive economic impact on the islands through fundraising, tourism, and natural resources.

Words can't express how beautiful this place is.
This year, the Taste of Tahiti event is an all day extravaganza hosted at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula, California on Sunday, October 9th 2016. From 10am to 4pm there is a free festival featuring dance workshops, arts, crafts, music, and vendors from the islands.

Our island welcome to Huahine
From 5pm to 9pm - it's going down at the extravagant Gala & Dinner under the stars. We're talking wine flowing (you need at least 1 glass of Wilson's White Cabernet, trust me), fresh clams, mussels, and oysters along with lamb and venison flown directly in from New Zealand. Fresh Ahi and vanilla desserts flown in from Tahiti. Live bands and dancers from the islands of Raiatea, Huahine, Hawaii, and New Zeland.

Gala & Dinner tickets are $79 each, and I'm gonna be there for sure. But guess what?! You can be there, too! Be Kekoa is sponsoring an exclusive giveaway (with me!) to give away TWO tickets to the Taste of Tahiti Gala & Dinner at Wilson Creek! PLUS - you and your guest will each get a bag full of Be Kekoa goodies! The value on this prize pack?! WELL OVER $200!

  1. My name is @kayelaine I would love to attend this event because I have never experienced the culture of Tahiti and I would love this opportunity for an introduction. Also I have been wanting to meet you and let you know in person how much your platform has impacted me personally. Your impact is bigger than hair and wellness and I love you for it. The chance to try bekekoa products is the icing on the cake for sure!

  2. The reason why i would like to attend Taste of Tahiti I I was in a club in high school that focus on the cultures of Polynesian New Zealand and other Asian countries. It brought awareness to everyone and that's what I like joining cultural clubs in high school and college because you get to a better understanding of what people struggles are and how their culture are represented. I'm a preschool teacher so I was trying to influence bringing cultural awareness to the classroom in order to evolve as a nation it's all about understanding everyone and taking the time to understand everyone this event seems very interesting I'll probably learn a lot of things that I never learned before and I'll be gladly to tell my students and show them how we may be all different but we all are alike in many different ways and these events are happening around the world it starts with one event at a time thank you for the opportunity to bring this event to your viewers I appreciate it I met you a while back at natural hair event in LA you're truly an amazing woman congrats on your new blessing that you will be a new mother.

  17. Hi, my name is Iris and I would LOVE to attend the Taste of Tahiti event because it seems like it would be an amazing experience. Living in Hawaii for 3 years opened my eyes to part of the Polynesian culture (to where I actually joined a Hula Halau and also took Tahitian dance classes) and made me want to experience more, along with the chance to obtain goodies from Be Kekoa. This would also give me an excuse to get my husband out of the house for a date!

  18. Wow... this is amazing... I'm @sincere8kris on IG... and I've been following Be Kekoa for a while now... maybe more like stalking... as I'm very interested in her products yet staying true to my promise to myself (not buying any new products till I use up the products I've hoarded over the last 2 years). Anywho... reading about the ingredients are ethically sourced, and how the community stays actively involved definitely made me shed a thug tear as I'm becoming more and more informed and conscious of Black's and people of color's role throughout the world... I swear, I just want us to win... somehow. Sorry for the rant. The cause is great and all of its inclusions are things that win my heart over with pure blissful joy (culture, food, natural hair, and wine)! Plus... the stalker in me (non-threatening type) would love to get out of my comfort zone and mingle with you and Brandie!

  37. I was cured of HERPES with the use of natural herbs. I love herbs so much. Most times, injections and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured 8months ago, i suffered from Herpes for 2 years but with the help of Priest Babaka herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs He sent to me through courier delivery service. This same Priest also cured my Aunt from INFERTILITY, as soon as I heard she Been finding it difficult to CONCEIVE, i referred her to the Priest and she was cured after drinking his herbs. I have referred more than 15 persons and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs, injections, surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it. Priest Babaka is a Herbalist and a Spiritualist , I assure you of a cure if you drink his natural herbs and follow his Guidance. He has herbs that cures HIV, Herpes, Diabetics, Asthma, Hepatitis, etc. Contact Priest Babaka on email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
