🎙️ Excited to share my recent conversation on Mic Check with Nikita. As the Founder of Yuvana Beauty, esthetician, and professional makeup artist, I had the opportunity to discuss my journey from working behind the scenes in entertainment and beauty to launching a skincare-infused beauty brand designed for melanin-rich and mature skin. We talked about entrepreneurship, overcoming challenges, building a brand with purpose, and the importance of confidence, education, and representation in the beauty industry. I also shared how my Guyanese heritage, professional experiences, and faith have influenced the vision behind Yuvana Beauty. Building a business is never a straight path, but every lesson, setback, and opportunity has helped shape the mission I carry today: helping women feel confident in their skin while creating products and education that truly serve their needs. Thank you to Nikita for creating a platform that amplifies entrepreneurs, creators, and community leaders and for allowing me to share my story. 🎥 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/enFNAnbz I’d love to hear your thoughts and biggest takeaway from the conversation. #YuvanaBeauty #MicCheckWithNikita #Entrepreneurship #WomenInBusiness #BeautyFounder #Esthetician #PersonalBrand #Leadership #BeautyIndustry #SmallBusinessOwner #CaribbeanEntrepreneur #FounderJourney #MelaninBeauty #ConfidenceInBeauty #QueensNY 💚 One thing I’ve learned: your purpose often reveals itself when you stop trying to fit into someone else’s path and start building your own.
