Behind the Name

The Samuels Family

Our founder, Monique Samuels, and the father of her children, Chris Samuels, initially desired to have 4 children after getting married in 2012. When they became pregnant with their first child, they decided they would wait to find out the gender of their baby upon delivery. Therefore, they prepared themselves by having a name picked out for a boy and a girl. The names they chose were Christopher Ramon and Milani Sanaa. Christopher Ramon was born in 2013! When they became pregnant with their second child, the name would be either Milani Sanaa for a girl or Chase Omari for a boy. Milani Sanaa was born in 2015! In 2017, when they became pregnant with their third child, they chose the names Mila Eve for a girl or Chase Omari for a boy. Unfortunately, Monique and Chris suffered a miscarriage. After much healing, they decided to try again and were blessed with a beautiful baby boy, Chase Omari in 2018! Monique made the decision to name this company, which was birthed out of love, passion and family, after the daughter they would or could have had, Mila Eve.
