Sharmadean Reid must be the godmother of reinvention. She’s not even 40 yet and she’s already got an MBE for the work she’s done to change the beauty and nail industry - which started with the founding of the WAH (we ain’t heroes) nail salon in London, which offered fashion-forward nail art designs that you couldn’t find anywhere else. She then pivoted to found The Beauty Stack - a social platform for beauty treatments, and was the first black woman to raise £1 million in seed funding for the idea. And more recently, she founded The Stack World - a female-led new media company which aims to economically empower female entrepreneurs. Now, approaching her 5th decade, she’s starting to think about what her legacy should look like, and her book, New Methods for Women: A Manifesto, is out now. Sharmadean is one of those people who captured the spirit of youth and ran with it, and we love how outspoken and unapologetic she is about how she’s followed her intuition. She also has a fearless approach to exploring new ideas, and we think we can all learn something from her energy and confidence.
