Meet Rohani Foulkes
Neighbor X Folk was founded by Rohani Foulkes, a passionate food, retail, and community builder dedicated to creating spaces that bring people together. With deep roots in Detroit and a love for thoughtful, people-centered design, Rohani has shaped NxF to be more than just a shop or gathering place—it’s a reflection of her belief that hospitality, creativity, and inclusivity can transform how we connect with one another. Her vision is grounded in the idea that every person who walks through the door feels valued, seen, and part of something special.

At Neighbor X Folk, we are passionate about curating goods that tell a story. Our shelves highlight the work of talented local artisans and makers, with a special focus on products created by women, BIPOC, and underrepresented voices. Every item is chosen with intention—celebrating craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and artistry—while always keeping sustainability at heart.
