Episode notes

Jenn Harper, founder and CEO of Cheekbone Beauty, literally dreamt about how her future company would impact her community, specifically young indigenous girls. Fast forward +8 years and she sat down with our host Amber Skinner-Jozefson to unpack the highs and lows, the real and the fake of starting a cosmetics brand. The very first indigenous owned and founded cosmetics company, Cheekbone Beauty is not only changing the face of sustainable and earth-friendly color cosmetics, it is helping fund educational opportunities for young women. Listen to the entire episode to hear Jenn's fascinating journey from substance abuse and working in the food industry to creating a space in the beauty industry where everyone, including Indigenous people, feel represented and seen.
