On this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, I’m joined by Jenn Harper, the trailblazing Founder and CEO of Cheekbone Beauty—an Indigenous-owned, B-Corp certified beauty brand that’s redefining what it means to be sustainable and socially conscious in the beauty industry.
We dive into how her grandmother’s resilience after residential schools shaped the brand; the Seven Grandfather Teachings in every step—and how she’s redefining representation and sustainability on a global stage.
We also talk about:
✨The dream that sparked her journey
✨Building a clean, ethical brand from the ground up
✨Partnering with Sephora Canada
✨Turning down Dragon’s Den
✨Representation, innovation, and resilience
This is one of those conversations that will inspire you to lead with purpose and bet on yourself—again and again.
