182. Bringing Clean & Inclusive Beauty into the Mainstream with Nyakio Greico #FabulousFriends
Nyakio Greico is an entrepreneur with two successful businesses to her name. The first is Nyakio, a green and clean beauty brand, launched in 2002, and now carried nationwide at Target.com. And the other is Thirteen Lune, an ecommerce platform she co-founded in 2020, centered around inclusion, discovering, and elevating Black and Brown-founded brands. We talk about creating a beauty platform for all, starting a paradigm shift towards inclusion, and when it may be better for your business not to grow.
