Driving the Business: Beauty Brands & Entrepreneurship

Ep 016 - Interview: Kim Roxie of LAMIK Beauty - What She is Doing When Black Women Founders Only Get .002% of Venture Funding

20 Aug 2019

Description

The REALITY is that Black women founders are getting a dismal 0.002% of all venture funding. Hear what beauty brand founder Kim Roxie decided to do when she found out this startling statistic while also working to pivot her own color cosmetics line - LAMIK Beauty.  We get REAL and talk about what it was like for Kim to shut down her store in order to pivot. Her quest for education and participation in multiple accelerators has given Kim a new level of confidence and fire to not only fuel her own business but to help other Black women business owners.  Her story is soooo compelling and one that should resonate with any business owner who has ever had to ask for money to start or grow their business. Kim is knee deep in the fight with her own crowd sourcing campaign designed to bring other Black women (and people who support them) to the forefront of business ownership.  Find out more about Kim's campaign at iFundWomen.com  Kim Roxie can be found on Instagram & Facebook @LAMIKbeauty and @thekimroxie
