A long-awaited conversation, I sat down with girl boss, business owner and beauty obsessed Florence Adepoju of MDMflow and Flow Beauty Co. From humble beginnings in retail to formulating her own lipsticks at home - Florence has successfully built the iconic hip-hop inspired makeup brand MDM Flow. Gaining international attention from heavy weight publications Vogue, Elle and Grazia, to name a few, Florence shows how self-belief, faith and hard work can make anything possible.

In part one of our chat, we talk about where it all began. How does one make the transition from their 9-5 and actually raise capital to start their own business? Are VC investments always a good idea? A true marketer, Florence identifies the importance of understanding who your audience are and who they are not. Finally, she shares how the best way to dispel the fear is by doing the work. Stay tuned for part 2, coming soon!
