You may know her as the youngest Black woman to raise over 10 million dollars in capital BUT growing up, Olamide suffered from chronic skin problems like boils, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

As a solution to similar problems faced by her community of Spottie Hotties, she created Topicals which is a line of skin products to help people who aren’t served by the line of products currently available in the skincare aisle.

In this episode, Olamide is breaking down what it took for her to gain such rapid success. From amazing collaborations to building a tribe, innovating new products and so much more, she’s bringing us behind the curtain.
