What is one of your favorite memories of working in the beauty industry?
I taught my first masterclass in Lagos, Nigeria. I stayed until 9 PM that night to meet, hug, and talk to every artist that came out to support me. I remember the look in their eyes as I taught them. I’m still emotional from the love. I will never stop giving back and representing Nigeria.

What’s your signature go-to look?
Think of the '90s with dewy skin and thicker brows. That’s me!

What made you want to work with Bobbi Brown?
I supported the brand when I first began my career because Bobbi Brown was one of the few companies that provided products for Women of Color. My decision to work with the brand was based on knowing that they played an integral role in representing Women of Color since the brand’s inception in the '90s.
