The path of a multicultural entrepreneur can be winding and frustrating, filled with challenges and barriers. How do you break away from the pack, distinguish your company, and get noticed by investors? From potions in Liberia and Sierra Leone, to soaps on the corner of 125th Street in Harlem, to beauty products in every name-brand store, Sundial Brands may have the answer.
In the inaugural episode of Access & Opportunity, Carla Harris talks with Richelieu Dennis, the co-founder and CEO of Sundial, about how he turned his grandmother’s traditional health and beauty recipes into a small community that grew into a multimillion-dollar beauty brand. Richelieu shares crucial advice for young entrepreneurs and discusses how he and Sundial are committed to giving back to communities by creating funding opportunities for, and partnerships with, women and multiculturally owned businesses that need it most.
