00:00We can only solve the problem of black skin through African natural products.

00:04For this, I decided to highlight the beauty of charity.

00:17I started my primary studies in Burkina Faso.

00:22Then I continued in Ivory Coast.

00:25When I arrived in Bijan, I had some problems.

00:30I was a young woman.

00:33I started to use some products.

00:36Then I realized that it was very dangerous.

00:39I had a lot of pimples on my face.

00:41I had to treat them.

00:43Even in the hospital, it was a bit complicated.

00:45Everything I took, it burned my face.

00:48It burned me.

00:50It even left marks.

00:52I realized that it was not the solution for me.

00:55I see that there are diseases we have today

00:59that did not exist before when our parents used the beauty of charity.

01:02When we used the beauty of charity,

01:04since childhood, our parents used it on themselves,

01:07in the hair, even on us.

01:09There were no such diseases.

01:11I think it's better to use these products,

01:14our natural products, to solve our black skin.

01:17We have to use African products to solve the problems of African skin.

01:23What did you do when you came to Burkina Faso?

01:29I went to a cosmetic training school

01:32in a professional training school.

01:35After that, I decided to come back

01:38because at the time there was the Ivarian crisis.

01:41When I arrived in Burkina Faso, I decided to intervene a little.

01:45The help of a comrade in Burkina Faso encouraged me a lot.

01:50I opened my first boutique in Saint-Malin.

01:53After that, I opened a second business,

01:56a third business, which is here.

02:05My relatives did not help me.

02:07Nobody.

02:08They discouraged me a lot.

02:10When I started, I remember very well,

02:12one of the closest people to me proposed to me

02:16that he would send me products from abroad.

02:21I said I would take it to sell,

02:23because it's not a job for me.

02:25He said, for me, anyway, that's what I like.

02:28So I didn't even listen to him.

02:30The person was the condition.

02:32Either I accept and he will help me,

02:34the person will come and give me the product,

02:36or, well, I will manage.

02:37He decided to help me.

02:39It's what we often say, when you make beautiful cakes,

02:42good cakes, you have to give a taste.

02:44At first, I gave it to people to try.

02:47So people liked it.

02:50And from mouth to ear, people started coming to me.

02:53I love the Tieng Kakao product.

02:55I've been using it for two years.

02:58The products are natural.

03:00It's really a repairer.

03:02When I say repairer,

03:04often there are women who get depigmented

03:06with these products, the Calilux products.

03:09The Tieng becomes normal again,

03:11to perfection, and we are satisfied.

03:14My vision, the level that I want Calilux to reach,

03:17that's what I only aim for.

03:19I don't look left and right.

03:21I just want to reach my goal of growing

03:24and being able to be represented everywhere in Africa,

03:28why not elsewhere.

03:30Calilux is an international, non-profit, non-profit organization

03:33based in South Africa.

03:35Its mission is to support women,

03:37young people, and their families

03:39to achieve their dreams.
