Our Story  

To truly understand Akanna, you must first learn about the visionaries who brought it to life.  

 

In February 2019, while sitting on a plane preparing to attend a funeral, CEO Melissa Boston received what her team would later call A Gift from God—the idea for Akanna. At the time, she was already the CEO of a multi-million dollar wellness company and had no plans to start her own.  

 

However, within weeks, she recognized a shift in the market and felt a calling to create a company with an exclusive focus on emerging wellness trends. Once Melissa received the blessing from her previous company to pursue this vision, she shared her idea with three trusted business partners—and together, they laid the foundation for what would become Akanna.  

 

The name Akanna means "In the Hands of God", reflecting the powerful energy and purpose that has driven the company from the beginning.  

 

Our Impact & Innovation

Fueled by an experienced and dynamic team, Akanna quickly became a multi-million-dollar wellness brand in less than a year. By 2020, they expanded their headquarters to Bronzeville, IL, in the heart of Chicago. In 2021, the company introduced the Flat Belly Lifestyle, expanded its product line to include weight loss and detox solutions, and launched a certified wellness coach program—empowering individuals to take control of their health and financial future. 

 

Today, Akanna continues to push boundaries, offering some of the highest-quality wellness products in the industry. By combining industry staples with emerging trends like CBD and personalized nutrition, we are positioned to become a dominant force in the home-based wellness business. More importantly, we are committed to creating long-term financial stability and global impact.  

 

With over 30,000 customers served, our goal is clear: to empower 1 million families worldwide —helping them achieve vibrant health, financial freedom, and a lasting legacy.  

 

Join us on this journey, and together, we’ll redefine what’s possible in wellness and wealth.
