Ep 25: Barbara Jacques, JACQ'S Clean skincare- Journey to Sustainable & Self-funded

June 01, 2022 • Tenaj Ferguson • Season 2 • Episode 25

On today’s episode, I chatted with Barbara Jacques, Founder and Creative Director of JACQ'S, a vegan and clean beauty skincare line for women of color. Barbara shared how her childhood, past experiences, and a health diagnosis propelled her into founding JACQ'S. Her journey to a sustainable and self-funded brand is genuinely inspirational. Through the ups and downs of each phase of the brand, Barbara has kept her eyes on the prize - creating clean products for women of color.

Barbara shares her experiences building a sustainable and self-funded brand and her wisdom for turning losses into life lessons. From creating products in her kitchen to becoming one of the first Haitian brands on Target shelves, you are guaranteed to learn a thing or two.
