ABOUT

Karen M. Blackwell is the founder and CEO of Sage & Alms™, a benefit corporation with the brands Kanda™ Chocolates and DewBurst™. With servant leadership as her North Star, Karen created a benefit corporation (B Corp) to further illustrate her commitment to social and environmental justice.

As CEO, Karen develops and executes on strategic business models through global partnerships; with a current focus on Ghana. Kanda™ Chocolates was created to elevate the chocolate tasting experience while upholding social responsibility by maintaining operations in Ghana, purchasing fair-trade cocoa and donating 10% of proceeds to charitable organizations. What started as a love for chocolate has turned into business that she is passionate about and advocates for.

Steps Between Farm and You

Cocoa Farmers sell their cocoa beans for a premium to a Fair Trade certified cooperative who sells to COCOBOD, the Ghana Cocoa Board, in Accra. Kanda’s chocolates are made in Accra and then imported to Kanda’s warehouse in Michigan where they’re ready to deliver direct to you.
