Beauty brand founder, Priyanka Ganjoo, created Kulfi Beauty with a mission to celebrate South-Asian culture and allowing room for embracing diversity, community, and joy. In just a few years, Priyanka went from being on the corporate side of the beauty industry to launching the first South Asian-owned makeup brand in all Sephora stores across North America. She is driven by a mission to celebrate individuality, and the result is that Kulfi has cultivated a thriving, engaged community while also tying in to her original purpose of filling a major gap in the beauty market. Her company is successfully bridging South Asian beauty with mainstream appeal, which is easily demonstrated by looking at their social media, models, branding, and more.Priyanka worked on the corporate side of the beauty industry for 5 years and saw first-hand how South Asians were underrepresented. After constantly searching for products that matched her skin tone and feeling like an outsider in the industry, she wanted to create more inclusive products. She launched Kulfi in 2021. Shortly afterwards, Kulfi's cult-favorite kajal eyeliners, concealers, and eyeshadows won awards from Allure and Byrdie. Contact Info:Priyanka Ganjoo - GuestPriyanka Ganjoo (Instagram)Kulfi Beauty websiteJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Julie Berman (LinkedIn) Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.

How do you turn farm waste into liquid gold and build a cult beauty brand in the process? Well, Allison Taylor from Le Prunier did just that. Along with her sisters, Allison took a forgotten byproduct from their fourth-generation, 100-year-old plum farm and turned it into a skincare phenomenon that's gone viral – while staying completely self-funded. In a world obsessed with growing fast and big, Le Prunier chose slow growth, intention and innovation, proving that less can truly be more. In this week's episode of Green Beauty Conversations, Allison returns to the podcast to tell the remarkable story behind Le Prunier.

At just 20 years old Daisy launched her now hugely successful beauty company ‘Glow For It' as a result of needing to find a product that would help her grow her natural lashes after developing trichotillomania due to anxiety. Discussing her journey with Natalie she opens up on the early challenges she faced and how the skills she developed in her early life as a performer in musical theatre helped her to remain focussed and driven in the face of adversity and rejection.
