My story — why I started SESA
It Started with a Mirror Moment
In my mid 30s, I started noticing subtle but undeniable changes. My hair was thinning. My skin had lost its natural glow. My moods swung more than I liked. Between a demanding career, raising my son, and navigating life’s transitions, I had been so focused on others that my own well-being had quietly slipped away. My body was speaking — and I finally decided to listen.
Rediscovering a Time-Honored Secret
I turned back to the wisdom I grew up with: whole, functional foods that nourish from within. Black sesame — treasured in East Asian culture for centuries for its beauty, vitality, and calming properties — became my daily ritual. Slowly, I felt the shift: stronger hair, brighter skin, steadier energy, and a grounded calm that carried me through even the busiest days.
Where Passion Meets Purpose
With a PhD in Food Engineering and years spent in Fortune 100 CPG companies and Top Tier consulting firms, shaping strategies for global brands, I’m passionate about turning ideas into products that make a real, tangible difference. In my own kitchen, I began crafting nutrient-rich, clean-label snacks centered on black sesame and other purposeful superfood ingredients — designed not just to feed the body, but to support beauty, balance, and emotional well-being.
The Birth of SESA
What began as a personal path back to wholeness has grown into SESA: a functional snack brand for women who, like me, balance ambition, family, and self-care — and want nutrition that works as hard as they do. Every bite is rooted in science, enriched by tradition, and created with the belief that caring for ourselves should be both intentional and joyful.
