How Working at Glossier and Sephora Equipped Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye for Beauty Domination

You've no doubt seen Ami Colé all over your Instagram lately, and it's for good reason: the Senegalese-inspired, Harlem-born brand is absolutely gorgeous, from the packaging to the formulations. Sara previously sang its praises when she chose it as a recent #WOYF. So how did Ami Colé emerge successful in such a competitive landscape? Two words: Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye. We're chatting with the founder, CEO, and mastermind behind the brand that's winning over beauty lovers with three simple, yet luxe products: the Skin-Enhancing Tint, the Lip Treatment Oil, and the Light-Catching Highlighter.

Tune in to hear Diarrha talk about her early years working as a Sephora cast member, what she learned about brand-building during her time at Glossier, and her epic Rihanna story.
