Today, we are sitting down with Kitiya Mischo King, Founder of Mischo Beauty. Mischo has been featured in Essence Magazine, named the 2021 Cosmopolitan Beauty Award winner, and most recently was featured on Oprah's Favorite Things list for 2021 (WOAH!). This line of nail polish is non-toxic and free from the 10 ingredients we are told to avoid in our skincare products, something Kitiya found hard to find while looking for a nail polish that's safe for someone who was pregnant. Kitiya is a self funded, black, female entrepreneur who gets into her journey as a founder and her journey of bringing people along with her and sharing in success. Kitiya also dives into self-funding and what that means to her along with the risk of investing in your own business. Kitiya and Mischo are a beautiful example of collaboration over competition and the abundance mindset.Check out Mischo Beauty here! _________ Welcome to the Plywood Podcast: Real talk for social entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders.Plywood is a nonprofit in Atlanta leading a community of startups doing good.
