Happy Mother's Day to every single mum out there!

On this special Mother's day episode Im speaking to fellow mummy and a Youtube OG content creator E S T A R E aka @Estaregrams

We talk about what motherhood looked like as a teen mum. How she's navigated the influencer world as one of the first to take it from hobby to a full time career.

We talk about what life looks like After25, the gems she is sharing with aspiring content creators on her Weekly Club House Room where Estare and a few guest influencers and other creatives share tips, offer honest advice on how you can also turn your hobby into a career.

As you guys know my fave part is the skincare talk, we touch skin issues after child birth. Cutting out food to breakouts and using The Barbara Sturm products for dark skin. And being a boy mum Estare shares how she's encouraging her son to care for his skin at 13.

“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.
