Yall, we're VERY proud that two of our guests from this past month were both featured on Beyonce x Black Owned Everything's Black Parade: A Curated Directory of Black Owned Businesses: Oui The People owned by today's guest, Karen Young, and Lauren Napier Beauty (Ep. | 10 Celebrity Makeup Artist and the Founder of her namesake brand Lauren Napier Beauty: How to Pivot Careers And Build Your Extraordinary Life). When I saw Karen post the screen shot of Beyonce's website--BEYONCE written in huge black block letters, right above the image of my absolute favorite beauty product, the rose gold safety razor by Oui The People--on Instagram, I screamed out in joy as if it was my own company! As if today's incredible interview with Karen Young, the founder of the skincare company, Oui The People wasn't proof enough, our girl Yonce (and every other major beauty and fashion magazine) co-signed on her dopeness.Shaving is a part of the cultural zeitgeist that until recently has been taken as-is, for the past 100 years. I’m sure that you have all heard of Dollar Shave Club, and Harry’s--companies that disrupted the shaving industry by lowering the prices of plastic razors for men. But have you ever imagined another shaving option for women? Today’s guest is the founder of the company Oui the People, and she did think about this. As a creative and designer at heart, after spending years in luxury fashion and beauty, Karen Young was ready to create a product for women--a safety razor--that told their story, and gave them a truly luxurious experience, all while saving the planet. I have mentioned the company Oui the People (formally named Oui Shave) on this podcast in the past, and it’s because their safety razor is a product that I truly love. Before I met Karen, I felt all of these emotions regarding what is seemingly a simple razor. It is no wonder that the creator behind it is a brilliant entrepreneur blessed with the gift of storytelling that is so vivid, the story becomes a physical product.Oui The People can be purchased by clicking on this link and by visiting www.ouithepeople.com or check out the company on Instagram @ouithepeople Click this link to be taken to Beyonce x Black Owned Everything's Black Parade: A Curated Directory of Black Owned BusinessesPlease send us any questions to truebeautybrooklynpodcast@gmail.com, add us on Instagram @truebeautybrooklyn or @truebeautybrooklynpodcast.

After a career in retail sales and operations at Estée Lauder, Karen Young started Oui Shave. The ecommerce startup sells skincare and shaving tools specifically crafted for the female experience. Their rose gold safety razor is engineered to last longer and cause less irritation; when paired with their natural oils and rich balms, the whole experience is designed to elevate women's shaving. Raised by her uncles and grandmother, Karen's first business was an homage to her grandmother's colorful home, while Oui Shave’s signature razor was inspired by her uncles’ grooming tools. From Guyana to Brooklyn, where Karen runs the business, she’s embraced the culture of bootstrapping and leans into her scrappiness. On this episode of the podcast, Karen talks about learning from her first business, Hammocks & High Tea (7:11), and the path that led her to the beauty industry and Oui Shave (8:14). She talks about challenging behemoth companies and other direct-to-consumer brands by marketing to women (10:52) and why she’s positioning her razor as an heirloom product (14:18). She gets real about the slow and steady growth of bootstrapping (37:02) and making a purposeful choice not to fundraise right out the gate (38:01). Finally, she shares the lows (41:11) and highs (42:57) of seeing her grooming products scale beyond giant blue Ikea bags. Links and images from this post are on the Lumi blog.

Karen Young was likely born an entrepreneur. When other kids were drawing unicorns, she designed a street sweeper -- and the company she'd found to run it. Today, she's using that practical tenacity at Oui Shave, a beauty company she founded selling razors she designed. She'll explain how persistence is more than just trying -- and how to see a ‘no' as a both a ‘not yet' and a 'get ready.' She'll also share why a sense of humor -- and the occasional kickboxing class -- is essential to understanding the 'new pampering.'

The secret to a successful product-based business? Make the quality so great that your customers can't help but be fiercely loyal. At least that's what Karen Young of Oui Shave did when she decided to take on the women's razor industry. We're talking with her about building a quality product, creating lasting relationships with your clients, and taking a chance on a product-based business that challenges a system.

Karen Young was an adventurous trouble maker -- in a good way -- and clear from an early age that she'd be an entrepreneur, even if didn't know exactly what that was at the time. She always knew that she could be anything she wanted, and part of the reason for this was because of the important lesson her grandmother taught her about perseverance. This lesson is something the Guyana native had to call on years later when she went through a difficult time after deciding to close her first business. Today, Karen -- who resides in Brooklyn, N.Y. -- is the creator of Oui Shave, a women's shaving brand that is disrupting the beauty industry. On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Karen shares how to overcome public failures, how to measure your business's success (beyond social media), how to optimize F.O.M.O. and why support along your journey is essential.
