Yall, we're VERY proud that two of our guests from this past month were both featured on Beyonce x Black Owned Everything's Black Parade: A Curated Directory of Black Owned Businesses: owned by today's guest, Karen Young, and (Ep. | 10 Celebrity Makeup Artist and the Founder of her namesake brand Lauren Napier Beauty: How to Pivot Careers And Build Your Extraordinary Life). 
When I saw Karen post the screen shot of Beyonce's website--BEYONCE written in huge black block letters, right above the image of my absolute favorite beauty product, the rose gold safety razor by Oui The People--on Instagram, I screamed out in joy as if it was my own company! As if today's incredible interview with Karen Young, the founder of the skincare company, Oui The People wasn't proof enough, our girl Yonce (and every other major beauty and fashion magazine) co-signed on her dopeness.
Shaving is a part of the cultural zeitgeist that until recently has been taken as-is, for the past 100 years. I’m sure that you have all heard of Dollar Shave Club, and Harry’s--companies that disrupted the shaving industry by lowering the prices of plastic razors for men. Oui The People Lauren Napier Beauty
But have you ever imagined another shaving option for women? 
Today’s guest is the founder of the company Oui the People, and she did think about this. As a creative and designer at heart, after spending years in luxury fashion and beauty, Karen Young was ready to create a product for women--a safety razor--that told their story, and gave them a truly luxurious experience, all while saving the planet. 
I have mentioned the company Oui the People (formally named Oui Shave) on this podcast in the past, and it’s because their safety razor is a product that I truly love.
Before I met Karen, I felt all of these emotions regarding what is seemingly a simple razor. It is no wonder that the creator behind it is a brilliant entrepreneur blessed with the gift of storytelling that is so vivid, the story becomes a physical product.
