Episode 166: Building Black and Brown Beauty Dreams with Nyakio Grieco

“Things that come from nature are the best way to treat your skin.”

- Nyakio Grieco

Kate sets up a fountain pond and is all set to relax while Doree takes a seat at the piano and continues to enjoy it! Then, beauty industry veteran and founder of Nyakio Beauty and co-founder of Thirteen Lune Nyakio Grieco joins them to talk about diversity and inclusion of Black and Brown communities in the beauty world, what she’s learned about life in her forties, and what it was really like to go from selling product from her apartment to launching at Target.
