“Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we
dive in, our readers would love to learn a bit more about you. Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?”
“I debated whether to give the safe answer or what really happened. I would like to say that I stumbled upon it, but the truth is I entered the beauty industry because of deep rooted insecurities that ended up almost killing me (how’s that for an answer?).”
NBC Meet The Press
“This year, we are premiering our first feature-length documentary. It’s called Toxic Beauty, which explores the under-regulated market for beauty and personal care products. It’s an issue with serious health implications, particularly for women, and one that has received rare bipartisan attention right here in Washington.”
