  • Resumen

  • “I became hyper detailed on the processes and how the business should run. Any good business, this should be the baseline. Nothing else, like this is it. How does your business run without you? My team understands that everyone's on board, so they just move through the system systematically. And so if they have any questions, they pop their head up, ‘Hey, I wasn't able to find this,’ someone can redirect them.” When Leslie Roberson decided to found a new business, she never set out to change the landscape of Black beauty supply stores. However, after mulling the idea over, she realized she might just be the perfect person to help fill that gap. Today, Leslie is the CEO and founder of B.B.C.—formerly the Black Beauty Collective—a premier beauty retail store and online marketplace for inclusive clean beauty. Leslie has leveraged her corporate recruiting experience at organizations like Meta and Wayfair and has championed over 50 diverse beauty brands that cater to the unique needs of women. Her efforts have led to B.B.C.’s expansion and highlighted her commitment to diversity and community support. Leslie's work transcends retail, fostering a movement towards greater inclusivity and representation in the beauty industry. Tune in and hear our conversation with Leslie about creating a business based on the lack of representation she saw in the beauty industry, finding employees that align with the company culture, and the criteria she uses when selecting brands for her marketplace.
