Founders - you will be INSPIRED by and UPLIFTED from this delicious conversation with global clean beauty brand founder Kim Roxie!

Southern belle, seasoned makeup artist, licensed esthetician and member of the Cosmetic Executive Women, our guest – Kim Roxie – experienced firsthand how multicultural women have been overlooked in the clean beauty market.

At the age of 21, with a $500 investment, she opened her own makeup shop that catered to multicultural women in her hometown of Houston, Texas. After running her shop for 14 years Kim launched LAMIK Beauty in 2020 as an e-commerce clean beauty company making LAMIK the first black-owned clean makeup brand carried by the major beauty specialty retailer, Ulta.com – changing the clean beauty game in Houston, Texas and beyond.

Kim has received numerous awards including the Barack Obama and Joe Biden Lifetime Achievement Award for Community Service, the Houston Business Journal’s “40 under 40,” the Innovation Map Award’s “Top Founder under 40”, the American Business Journal’s Most Influential Young Executives and “one of the 30 Black Stars” by Face2Face Africa.

She is so beloved by her hometown, that the City of Houston formally named June 23rd as Kim Roxie day in her honor!

At 46:00 on the audio, Kim demonstrates how to use LAMIK's Revelation Brow Due while chatting with us - awe*mazing! https://lamikbeauty.com/collections/b...
