Jackie Aina: I Block People to Protect My Business "I Have Too Much To Lose"

Jackie Aina-Asamoah (‪@jackieaina‬) joins Maggie Sellers Reum to talk YouTube virality, Black women in makeup, dark skin representation, FORVR Mood, luxury, money, NDAs, internet drama and building a fragrance empire! Can you believe Jackie went from being paid $300 a month in the Army to becoming one of YouTube’s biggest beauty voices - at a time when makeup counters didn’t even display her shade! She tells Maggie what happened when she called out brands for failing darker skin, why they had to listen and how it made her career… Jackie also spills on selling 20,000 candles in four hours, why she DOESN’T want a $1B business, never going back to broke, working with her husband Denis Asamoah, blocking trolls, hiding her wedding online, parasocial fans and how you can protect your brand on social media!  #jackieaina #beauty #makeup Get unselfish access to the insights that will help you own the room.
