“Im like Marmite, you either love me or you don’t” - Amina Ajayi is the type of woman that owns every part of herself and is unapologetic while doing so.
A lot of people claim to be confident but when you walk with that confidence inside boardrooms while black and a woman, I can only Stan!
A cosmetic scientist, founder of Lila’Lli cosmetics and now the creative director of the newly launched Emolyne Cosmetics; Amina gives us some real gems, on where to start when launching a Black owned beauty brand.
We discuss, knowing ones worth, and when to walk away from situations or roles that do not value what you bring to the table.
We talk beauty, Black beauty brands that is! Where it's at now and where we hope to see it go.
Of course, it would not be after25 if I didn’t ask a whole cosmetic scientist what her beauty routine is.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
