Sustainability? Skincare? How to Build a Brand?

My Women‘s History Month feature: the very intelligent and kind human being, Ms. Melanie Bender! As the President of Versed Skincare (aka the cleanest drugstore skincare brand), she has built a team and brand that strongly emphasize on clean, sustainable and quality products for every person and skin type. I simply adore their concept of formulas that are 100% people and planet-minded. We also chat about our skincare journeys and routines as well as what it means to build a business/brand for yourself.

And of course as a PROUD Asian American, I took some time to not only rep my culture (Disney's fabulous Raya and the Last Dragon), but also to address the ongoing AAPI hate crimes and xenophobia (i.e. Atlanta shooting and fear). Never in my 24 years do I recall this kind of fear feeling so vulnerable in the outside world, but thank you to those standing with us. Here are some useful resources :)
