Kristen Dunning Email and Phone Number
Kristen Dunning champions a strong passion for plants that hails from her rare five generations of Black Alabama farmers. This passion fueled the foundation of Gently Soap - a bathing brand built on her self-developed herbal infusions that cater to the growing millions of people struggling with irritable skin. During her time at UGA - a top agricultural institution - she pursued two agricultural science degrees, embarked on an honors horticultural research project and secured a graduate research fellowship in crop, soil, and plant science. These experiences allowed her to spend years in greenhouses, refining her overarching mission - to show every American how to embrace plant-derived, botanical products without compromising skin health and overall bodily wellness.She anchors her brand, Gently Soap, in not just providing cutting-edge skin-safe botanical products but also in voicing the underrepresented - like the mere 1% of Black farmers in the US today. Alongside her award-winning entrepreneurship, Kristen continuously studies clinical herbalism, ethnobotany, and has her heart in sharing the diverse history of agriculture in the US and shedding light on the important and resilient contributions from communities of color that have made US agriculture what it is today. She dreams to inspire young BIPOC folks to reclaim space in the future of agriculture.
