Welcome
About the Founder
Lizzie, a U.S. Air Force veteran, holds an MBA (International Business) and an MHRM (Project Management). A certified 235-hour yoga teacher (Devanadi School of Yoga & Wellness) and Insight Meditation practitioner, she founded Araba Collective to honor her grandmother Araba, the former Queen Mother of Afransi, Ghana, embodying her legacy of generosity.
In Ghanaian tradition, queen mothers are chosen from royal families—descendants of a town or village's original settlers—by the head of the royal family and elders. Ghana is known as the land of 10,000 queen mothers.
Rooted in the values of mindfulness and community support, Araba Collective offers wellness products and mindfulness tools to help individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and calm with emphasis on wisdom, compassion, and mindful living.
Adwo symbol for peace, calm, tranquility, and quiet.
