Speaker Bio
As an Ivy League trained attorney, Kimberly advised companies navigating the complex regulatory world of the health care industry, but growing up, Kimberly always had a passion for fashion and beauty. “I can remember being one of the few girls who always wore heels and a full face of make up to class on my college campus,” says Kimberly. “Expressing myself through different hairstyles, make-up, and fashion, has always been fun for me.”

When she’s not navigating the health care industry, Kimberly is an avid traveler. “When I’m on a trip I love picking up different finds from across the globe,” says Kimberly. “Whether it’s argan oil from Morocco, ayurvedic oils from India or cocoa butter from Costa Rica, I’m a natural curator of beauty products.”

In traveling the world, Kimberly has marveled at the beauty of women of color, “our varying shades, hair textures and physical features.” But, she has also observed that those very special qualities she holds dear are often not reflected in society’s standard of beauty. It is because of that, “our specific needs when it comes to beauty and cosmetics often go unfulfilled.”
