Regina Merson is a Guadalajara-born and Texas-bred Mexicana whose love for make up empowered her to become the Founder and CEO of beauty line Reina Rebelde ("Rebel Queen"). Her love for academia took her to Yale University and the University of Chicago. She went on to become a practicing lawyer and used make up as a way to stay true to her authentic self, her roots and her community amongst the sea of black suits. She saw the void in the beauty world for Latinas and decided to start her own line -Reina Rebelde. Merson shares how her mother's love of Mexico instilled pride and confidence in her, how to defy expectations, her own challenges, the educational power in beauty and what is next for her growing company. Here's to the brava in all of us Reinas!
