Nyakio Grieco has always been passionate about the power of the beauty industry as a vehicle for change. As the co-founder of Thirteen Lune, a retail platform dedicated to showcasing brands and products crafted by Black and Brown founders, Nyakio champions inclusivity and representation within the industry. In this episode, she delves into the challenges and triumphs of being a BIPOC founder in the beauty industry, highlighting the shifts she's witnessed as well as opportunities for growth.
