In April 2023 we launched Smackin' Smoothiez in New York, then expanded into The Smackin' Brand, a Black-owned lifestyle ecosystem blending flavor, wellness, faith, creativity, fashion, and community empowerment.
Founder Ganai N. Finn leads with faith, grind, and creative vision. Our growing network of students, volunteers, and local partners helps shape every flavor, every event, every community win.
We operate as a connected fam, uniting Smackin' Smoothiez, Smackin' Tea, and THB Enterprises under one bold umbrella that centers QUALITY, CULTURE, COMMUNITY and creates real space for purpose-driven living.
Our Why
We commit to quality through handcrafted beverages, thoughtful services, and intentional partnerships. Every smoothie, tea, poem, and consultation reflects care for your health, your time, and your trust.
We uplift culture by centering Black creativity, ministry, and storytelling, spotlighting local talent, and treating every online touchpoint as a stage for representation, pride, and honest New York energy.
From Passion to Purpose
Ganai N. Finn founded Smackin' Smoothiez in April 2023 after a decade-long journey that started with a NutriBullet and a passion for food in her Staten Island apartment back in 2013. A Times Square resident with culinary training and an entrepreneurial spirit, she turned her love for "smackin'" on fresh fruit into a full lifestyle brand. What began as smoothie experiments grew into The Smackin' Brand - a movement blending beverages, fashion, creativity, and community empowerment rooted in faith and culture.
Built on Faith and Hustle
As SHE-EO of The Smackin' Brand, Ganai leads with vision, grit, and purpose. Armed with business certifications from Santa Clara University, Baruch College, and NYC SBS, she's building an ecosystem that goes far beyond drinks - designing Smackin' Sneakers with Vans, creating merch lines, and expanding into tea, poetry, ministry, and fashion through THB Enterprises. Her mission is clear: uplift Black-owned businesses, celebrate culture, and create opportunities that pour back into the community. This is just the beginning.
