Meet the CEO
Kems Pure Products, LLC was built by a black woman who experienced a real-life health condition for many years.
Hi there, I’m Maryam Kasumu MSN, RN, MSCN, a Philadelphian native and owner of Kems Pure Products, LLC. Since 2015, I have explored ingredients in commercialized products after being diagnosed with uterine leiomyomas (fibroids).
I discovered that commonly known cleaning products contain chemicals linked to my condition. Some of the previous cleaning solutions I used daily contain ingredients known as endocrine disruptors that offset my hormones and led to the growth of many fibroids. In 2019, I had undergone a myomectomy (surgery to remove fibroids) to preserve my gynecological health.
For the past six years, I have done extensive research on toxic ingredients and its effects in the human body. I found potential answers to questions such as “how did my fibroids grow so big to the extent that surgery was required?” As an experienced nurse, I understand the possible health effects toxins pose and wish to decrease potential exposures to myself and others.
The idea of creating 100% natural, eco-friendly cleaning products brand came to mind. I launched Kems Pure Products, LLC in January 2021 shortly after being the NCNMO Afropreneurship Challenge winner.
In a short time, I have been able to take the company to new heights and encourage people to start an eco-friendly lifestyle by promoting a healthier journey. I hope my story and company will inspire others to detoxify their homes by using safer, all-natural cleaning solutions (that smell AMAZING) today to create a greener tomorrow.
