Target Bags to the Big Leagues: The Sherrill Mosee Story

A cut-up Target bag, cardboard, glue, and staples. That’s how Sherrill Mosee started, turning a simple idea into MinkeeBlue, a patented organizational bag that landed a $100,000 Macy’s purchase order.

Tolu and Belva sit down with Sherrill to discuss the engineering mindset that turned a commuter’s frustration into a market-ready brand. Today, she’s building AI-powered tools to help founders move faster through manufacturing and product development.

Inside This Episode:

• Scrappy Prototyping: Why starting with "imperfect" materials still wins.
• The Logistics of Growth: Navigating patents, overseas manufacturing, and supply chain realities.
• The Macy’s Milestone: What it actually took to land the $100K deal.
• The AI Shift: How AI is changing the path from concept to market.

Press play to learn how problem-solving becomes a legacy when you refuse to quit.

How does a woman go from running her own makeup shop to landing a deal that makes her the first Black-owned clean brand on Ulta.com? And how is she still winning on Nordstrom, JCPenney, and HSN?

Belva and Tolu got chatting with Kim Roxie, Founder and CEO of LAMIK Beauty and a pioneer who has been pushing for real inclusion in the beauty game since 2004.

At 21, Kim opened a successful brick-and-mortar makeup shop in Houston, but soon realized clean beauty was completely ignoring women of color. So, in 2020, she made the ultimate boss move: she pivoted to e-commerce and landed that game-changing deal with Ulta.com.

In this episode, Kim gets real. She talks about the incredible ethos behind building a clean, vegan brand for all women, no matter their shade. She dives into the unexpected barriers she kept breaking just by showing up and doing the work. Plus, hear how this phenomenal leader (who even has her own "Kim Roxie Day" in Houston) is actively shaping the next generation, literally taking young girls to manufacturing plants to inspire their careers.

Press play to find out how Kim redefined what Black excellence looks like in the beauty world and built a legacy that’s about more than just money.
