Aspire with Emma Grede · Success Requires Letting Go of People’s Expectations of You (Jackie Aina) · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

We started this thing called the Bomb Challenge, Black-owned makeup brands.

And we literally had to explain to people like, hey, like Black-owned makeup brands are not just for Black people.

We started that conversation in like 2016, 2017.

It was that early.

I think it was like 2016.

Before 2020, before.

So actually like 2020 was just kind of like catapulting.

It was actually kind of like gratifying to see because it was the first time I've seen non-Black people really say, I'm prioritizing spending, you know, from a Black founder.

And it was just like, oh my God, like that became our norm in a way.

But it came and it went.

Right.

I think it's some, for some reason, I don't know what it was about 2020 that it peaked like that and then dropped down so bad.

And it was just like, we were doing so good.

We were doing so good.

And to answer your question, we experienced definitely not as severely as a lot of other brands, but yeah, of course, naturally, like, yeah, we definitely got, and we also remember we launched in 2020.

So yeah.

We had that meteoric rise.

And then all of the stuff that had been happening socially, politically in 2020 had drove people to want to reactionarily support brands.

But I don't want that to be the only reason.

I don't want you to just be giving me a pity.
