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.
