We got the opportunity to sit with Barbara Jacques, Founder and Creative Director of Jacq’s. Jacq's is a vegan and clean beauty skincare line created to help women slay naturally. Barbara created Jacq's after a health scare during her pregnancy. As a way to cope with her illness, she began studying green medicine, and holistic plant botany.  Barbara took us through her journey of having a full time job and taking the jump into full-time entrepreneurship. We also discuss which chemicals to look out for in skincare products and how to take control of your health as a black woman.  Follow Barbara and her company here and support black-owned businesses!   @shopjacqs @jacqsorganics Get tickets to Black Girls in Media, The Digital Conference! 5/23 & 5/24 xoxo Black Girls in Media  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
