This episode is all about beauty! Specifically about some remarkable brands created by women entrepreneurs of Caribbean descent who are making a significant impact in the beauty industry. In this episode we explore their inspiring journeys and the influence of Caribbean heritage on their brands. While there are several exceptional Caribbean women owned brands, my favorites right now are Sweet July Skin, 4ubyTia, Fenty Beauty, and Pat McGrath Labs (no, this episode is not sponsored). While I love how these brands work well on my skin and hair, I also love how these Caribbean women-owned beauty brands represent a harmonious blend of culture, innovation, and empowerment. They celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and self-expression, making them truly exceptional in the beauty industry. So grab your tea, coffee, or a glass of wine, and let's talk di tings!
