Thuy Diep started on the sales floor of a beauty company and at the time of this recording in 2021 she was an Education Executive for CHANEL Beauty North America. For Thuy, beauty has always been something deeper than the surface appearance of a person. At the same time, she has witnessed an internal change in women when they see their appearance after an artist applies quality make-up, and the change has been profound. Thuy used cannabis because it helped her connect with customers on the sales floor, and her sales were consistently at or near the top. She spent part of her early childhood attending church at a Christian denomination but has not associated with organized religion since. She believes a higher power exists and she has an inescapable internal motivation to help people. A beautiful woman, an executive in the beauty industry and she believes there is deeper value in people than the external.
