Episode 30 “Nature is our Saviour” with Korkor Kugblenu

Today on Moments of Clarity, I am speaking to Korkor Kugblenu.

 

Korkor is the founder of ‘Korkorction’, a business in Ghana that dreams is to see all women of African descent feeding their ageless beauty with wholesome products that will not harm them or the environment. As well as being an entrepreneur, Korkor works in advertising but her true passion is clearly in helping other people of African descent find, restore and protect their natural beauty.

 

Korkor offers a unique insight and perspective about business, society, fashion, beauty standards and Ghana. We also delve into the world of sustainability and how difficult it is to do what is right for our planet, no matter how hard we try.
