I’m Cherene, a creator, traveler, mathematics lover, and lifelong learner. My father came to the United States as a refugee from Iraq, and my mother grew up on a farm in Iowa. I’m proud to embody a unique blend of Middle Eastern and American cultures, which deeply influence my perspective and passion for cultural connection.

At Fertile Crescent Creations I specialize in handcrafted and aromatic soaps inspired by the blend of Middle Eastern and American retro cultures. My mission is to foster understanding through every product, promoting inclusivity and respect. With each soap, I aim to not only indulge your senses but also share a small piece of cultural education, encouraging a more compassionate and harmonious world.
