Nyakio Grieco is a force in the beauty industry and a serial beauty entrepreneur. She is the founder of Nyakio Beauty, co-founder of the inclusive beauty e-commerce platform Thirteen Lune, and recently launched a new inclusive beauty brand, Relevant: Your Skin Seen. In 2020, Nyakio launched Thirteen Lune, an e-commerce destination designed to inspire the discovery of beauty brands created by Black and Brown founders that resonate with people of all colors. The website sells products made for all people by BIPOC-owned brands, features a thorough, fully curated selection of products made specifically for Black and Brown people, and emphasizes allied brands that have made a measurable effort to create an inclusive product lineup. Thirteen Lune's mission is to reframe how Black and Brown beauty brands are perceived from an industry perspective by giving each brand a platform to sell, educate, and engage with a broader audience like never before. During this conversation, we cover how she struggled with imposter syndrome, learned to embrace the title "entrepreneur," and paid homage to her heritage throughout her career.
