Business of the Beat

Title: Freedom, Fulfillment, and Knowing Your Roots


Listen Later

This week, Kayla Greaves—beauty expert, award-winning journalist, sought-after speaker, and overall multi-hyphenate in the beauty industry—dives into her career path, the importance of balance and self-care, and the current content creation space. When asked about the growth and exposure for Black founded brands Kayla said, “The fact that I can’t even narrow [Black-founded beauty brands] down is such a good problem to have” — she views growing trends towards inclusivity, sustainable and eco-friendly beauty products as an important step towards greater social and environmental responsibility in the industry.
Kayla also discusses how our relationship with our hair and our appearance is about more than just aesthetics - it's about identity and culture: “When I finally decided to go natural... I started to realize how complex our relationship with our hair is. It’s more than just hair. It’s our roots, it’s where we come from.”
