Led by Troupe Beauty founders Chelsie Rose Kern and Jillian Ouellette, this session will look at how the two founders have adapted their brand and business model after a launch in June 2020. They’ll share how they center financial self-care and social impact, challenge beauty industry norms and what it took to bring in more than $35,000 in revenue during their first six months, without outside investment.
All sessions will be recorded. As always, this program will center women, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC voices, and all are welcome to attend. To learn more about the values that guide our work, check our Be A Good Human Guidelines.
