Saajida Chohan is a dynamic and multi-faceted professional, blending over two decades of rich experiences spanning education, non-profit management, and entrepreneurship. As an educator, Saajida planted seeds of holistic growth in young minds, later transitioning to non-profit management where she brought tangible benefits to her community. Her passion for wellness and artistic expression paved the way for her most personal venture in February 2019, the founding of Liquid Gold Apothecs. Here, she seamlessly melds her dedication to holistic health with her innate artistry, crafting not only high-quality therapeutic products for the mind, body, and spirit but also wearable art in the form of beaded jewelry imbued with the power of healing stones.

Certified in reiki healing, Saajida's approach to wellness is holistic, and her connection to art deeply ingrained. This connection to the arts extends to her role at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. As a workshop presenter for the Teen Stylin' Program and a jewelry-making instructor for both adult and teen studio programs, she shares her knowledge and skills with budding artists. Furthermore, her wearable art pieces were proudly displayed as gallery exhibits from 2022-2023, drawing admiration and recognition. Her collaboration with local clothing designers for RVA Fashion Week and her role as the coordinator for the RVAFW X Girls For A Change event solidify her influential position in the art and fashion scenes. This recognition was further amplified when she was featured on 8@4 presented by The Richmond Times Dispatch, spotlighted in the December 2022 Holiday Gift Guide, and showcased in esteemed publications like Elements Magazine & EVON Magazine.

Saajida's commitment to quality is evident in the diverse retailers that carry her Liquid Gold Apothecs' Whipped Body Butter line, from The Well Collective and Marie's Hair and Nail Supply in Richmond to the MacArthur Mall in Norfolk and the Friend & Hand Herb Shop in N. Chesterfield. Beyond her endeavors, Saajida is a proud member of the Jackson Ward Collective and the Metropolitan Business League, reflecting her commitment to community and collaboration. Combining her professional accomplishments with her personal journey of resilience, Saajida Chohan stands as an emblem of dedication, artistry, and transformative power.
