On today's episode, we are diving into a" hot topic" that has been the talk of social media. Let's get into our favorite beauty products. We soon discovered that most of our household staples catered to the African American community were not black-owned. We decided to look at the "start" of the black beauty industry and also, what it means to be a black business or a formerly blacked-owned business.  What happens when your business is sold or a merger? Taliah Waajid takes a step further to explain funding, venture capital, selling a business, and understanding the risk and gain of investors. You may want to grab a notebook, listen 2-3x and get some real insight into the BUSINESS of the beauty industry.
