MEET THE OWNER

The Butta Bar by ShéButta was born out of both necessity and vision. As a single mother working in the corporate world, Danni felt the weight of limited funds and inflexible schedules. After graduating from Ball State University in 2017 with a degree in Risk Management & Insurance and Finance, she quickly realized that a lifetime behind a desk wasn’t the path she wanted to follow. To supplement her income, she started SheButta as a side hustle, selling her handmade body butters at local pop-ups. What began as a way to make “some change” has blossomed into a thriving boutique and creative space that now fuels a whole community.

Rejection never stopped her—it became fuel. She leaned into customer feedback, always looking for ways to improve the experience and create something even more meaningful. That resilience has carried The Butta Bar from weekend pop-ups to a luxury self-care boutique and community hub.

For Danni, natural skincare is more than beauty—it’s wellness. She believes that our skin, the body’s largest organ, deserves the very best. By sourcing shea butter from Ghana and crafting plant-based products free of harmful additives, she ensures every jar and bottle supports healthier, younger-looking skin. Each blend tells a story of passion, healing, and intentional care.

Her motivation? Her customers. The excitement they feel when creating their own products, the smiles that light up the room, and the support Indianapolis has shown for her vision keep her pushing forward—even on the hard days.

Looking ahead, Danni envisions The Butta Bar as a cornerstone of Indianapolis’ art community. She sees fragrance blending, skincare crafting, and DIY workshops as forms of art, and she hopes to provide a platform for beginner entrepreneurs to explore, grow, and shine.

At its heart, The Butta Bar celebrates community, creativity, and empowerment. Inside her doors, Danni uplifts women of color, local makers, and small business owners by giving them space to be seen and supported—just as she once needed when starting out.

Her favorite product? The body oil, for its perfect balance of scent and lightweight moisture. Her fun fact? “Y’all heal a little piece of me when you get giddy from creating your own product.”

In three words, Danni is kind, understanding, and respectful—and that spirit is reflected in every corner of The Butta Bar.
