I am grateful and ecstatic for the opportunity to do this business spotlight interview with the founder of Queen Crafts, Chaka Muhammad. She shared with me her journey in the creation of her business. Also, she expressed how she has always had a desire to create art that reflects our culture and represents our people. She discusses in this interview how her work has been celebrated internationally, with products sold in Italy, London, and Canada, and has adorned celebrities such as Rakim, The GZA, Killah Priest, Havoc, and Lord Jamar. Some of her specialty products include Nations of Islam (NOI) products. Queen Crafts offers coffee mugs and bowls, FOI & MGT greeting cards, and home decor accent pieces.

Nadine Muhammad: Please, would you tell our readers about yourself?
Chaka Muhammad: I’m a Grand Rapids, MI-based artist whose creative journey began at the age of five. Since starting Queen Crafts in 2017, I have gained recognition for crafting distinctive designs and items, including paper crafts, home decor, kitchenware, custom wedding decor, sneakers, and clothing. In addition to artistry, I serve as a small business consultant, empowering others to achieve entrepreneurial success. My work has been celebrated internationally, with products sold in Italy, London, and Canada, and has adorned celebrities such as Rakim, The GZA, Killah Priest, Havoc, and Lord Jamar.
Nadine Muhammad: Share with us the story behind your business: the inspiration for starting , history, mission, and purpose of Queen Crafts.
Chaka Muhammad: I have always been fascinated with drawing and coloring since childhood. I clearly recall making a Black Santa Claus in my 4th-grade art class out of construction paper. I always had a desire to create art that reflects our culture and represents our people. I have always been told by other people that they loved my artwork, and once I heard the message that we should Do For Self and create our own businesses, I decided to use my natural talent to start with and began Queen Crafts.
Nadine Muhammad: Tell us about the products and services that you offer to your customers. Also, please share any special Saviours' Day products offered.
Chaka Muhammad: I create for the general public and also specialize in making NOI products. I offer coffee mugs and bowls, FOI & MGT greeting cards, home decor accent pieces, paper binders, and more. If a customer has a specific request, most times I can design a one-of-a-kind product for them. There is a quote form on my website.
