Fueled by a Nigerian heritage simultaneously intertwined with her experience as a black woman in America, Ofunne aims to use her expertise in the field of communications to promote and uplift the images of black women in the media through fashion and beauty.

After constantly searching for resources that catered to makeup enthusiasts with varying skin tones (and a number of makeup purchase nightmares), Ofunne created Cocoa Swatches, a Instagram platform showcasing the latest makeup products on various complexions. Upon completing her Masters of Communications at Columbia University, she decided to turn Cocoa Swatches into a full fledged brand.
