@deepica is the founder and CEO of Live Tinted, a beauty brand that celebrates diversity and brings together communities. She was obsessed with makeup at an early age but she didn't see anyone who looked like her in beauty ads. She's the child of immigrants and grew up in Sugarland, Texas. The cool kids there didn't look like her either. She wanted to change what being cool looked like. Year later she did, when she launched Live Tinted. We talked about her childhood, the struggles she faced, her rise to fame as an influencer and the founding of her successful company. She has a ton of business lessons to share but also life lessons that can apply to just about anyone who's looking to get better in what they're doing.
