Less is always more and beauty comes from within

I subscribed to Vogue and W Magazine. I loved makeup and skincare and would do all of my friends makeup for dances. I absolutely always loved natural but glowy looks!
What does self-care look like in your life?
Actually carving out time from my life to do anything that I have put on the back burner.
What inspires you most about the beauty landscape and industry today?
That it is so inclusive and finally focusing on an entire group of beauties - women of color. I am so honored to be part of such a bright future for the young ladies out there that look up to us more mature beauty enthusiasts!

Timing and time commitment. It is always more time than you ever imagine to start a business from the ground up!

Staying alive during COVID, launching our body care line in the middle of it, and a wellness destination in Houston Texas. That has all brought me so much pride and joy!
What would you like to see more of in the beauty industry when it comes to diversity and inclusivity?
True focus on indie brands, not just well funded ones that are brain childs of larger brands. And ones that solve problems for people with pigment in that skin!
