Christina Funke Tegbe is the founder and creative force behind 54 Thrones, a luxury beauty

brand she launched in 2016, inspired by the rich cultures, botanicals, and rituals of Africa.

Rooted in her Nigerian heritage, Christina built 54 Thrones to celebrate and elevate African

beauty through authentic, high-performing formulations and to create pathways of trade, not aid,

with artisans and cooperatives across the continent.

‍

Her dedication to quality, cultural storytelling, and craftsmanship has earned 54 Thrones

placement in Sephora and Credo, and features on Shark Tank and Oprah’s Favorite Things.

Through 54 Thrones, Christina continues to redefine what it means to build a modern African

luxury brand; one that honors tradition, champions sustainability, and connects global beauty to

its African origins.
