I want to stay in this industry because I want to be a part of the beauty. I love beautiful things, and I think people sometimes think it’s a vapid point of view, but to me, it’s the only point of view I’ve ever had. I tried to make sense of it, I tried to pursue other ventures, industries, but I was never satisfied until I came here. I want people like me to be a part of the beauty, Black women, people from lower income backgrounds.
