Today we\\u2019re welcoming Diarrha N\\u2019Diaye, founder of the hotly anticipated Ami Col\\xe9, a new, eco-friendly beauty range born in Harlem, inspired by Senegal. Hailed as \\u201cNo Makeup Makeup for Melanin-Rich Skin\\u201d by Women\\u2019s Wear Daily, Ami Col\\xe9 is about celebrating \\u2013 rather than covering up \\u2013 dark skin tones. Launched just last week, the indie start-up has attracted investors like Hannah Bronfman and Versed Skincare\\u2019s Katherine Power, while Katie Jane Hughes and Emily Weiss are already singing its praises on Instagram.

Tune in as Diarrha N\\u2019Diaye recalls rising through the ranks at L\\u2019Or\\xe9al Paris and Glossier before cultivating her own beauty line, crowd-sourced from a BIPOC community of 400 over three years. Plus, we chat about self-acceptance, representation in the beauty industry, the challenges of launching during a global pandemic and the gap that still exists to get brands like Ami Col\\xe9 to market. Finally, find out how Diarrha plans to take Ami Col\\xe9 beyond beauty, creating a community where women of colour are free to exhale.
