Description

In this episode, I sit down with a trailblazing beauty founder Tendai Moyo, who’s redefining what it means to build a brand rooted in culture, science, and storytelling. From late nights in investment banking to launching a multimillion-pound company, she shares the real cost of success, and why there’s no shortcut.

We talk about the generational loyalty to products like Blue Magic, the cultural resistance to change in the Black haircare space, and why some of the most well-loved rituals might not be serving us. She opens up about balancing hustle with healing, working through regret, and the power of building products that speak directly to your community.
