On this episode of Cocktails and Conversations, I’m joined by the dynamic and visionary Donna Dia, founder of The Beauty Beat, a groundbreaking platform transforming the beauty space for women of colour.

Donna’s journey is one of persistence, passion, and purpose. In this inspiring conversation, she opens up about the realities behind building a meaningful brand, the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and how she’s turned decades of experience into a community-driven beauty movement.

We talk about everything from her early days in events and fashion PR to the moment she realized the industry was missing something she felt called to create. With warmth and honesty, Donna shares the sacrifices, the pivots, and the lessons learned on her 20-year path to launching one of the UK’s most exciting beauty experiences.

This episode is filled with laughter, real talk, and a deep dive into what it truly means to lead with intention, create from the heart, and stay committed to your vision even when the path isn't linear.

Whether you're an aspiring founder, creative professional, or someone simply trying to figure it all out, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start and that showing up as your authentic self is more than enough.

So grab a drink, get comfortable, and join us for another unforgettable episode of Cocktails and Conversations.
