Akeria Gardner is a 26-year old native from Kingston, Jamaica. Growing up, she had always loved fashion and beauty, finding fulfillment in helping others embrace themselves with artistic self-expression. Her luxury skin and self-care brand, Ameraki Care was born to amplify one’s authentic self and unique identity and celebrate the beauty of melanin. The first year of Ameraki Care’s launch was a consistent struggle for Gardner, but the challenges never stopped her from advocating the brand and pushing it forward. She lives by the philosophy that you cannot be afraid of failure; it is in resilience where you learn the most about yourself. Because of Gardner’s determination and hard work, Ameraki Care stands proud today as a respected brand, beloved and supported by many people.
