Ep. 135: How Schenika Quattlebaum’s Past Abusive Relationship Fueled The Launch Of Her Empire, Natalia Me-gan Beauty
On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Schenika Quattlebaum to the Friends in Beauty guest chair.
Schenika is the founder and proprietor of the global independent beauty brand, Natalia Me-gan Beauty. A determined domestic violence survivor and advocate, Schenika took her courage in hand and made a huge leap of faith when she started her company in August 2018. Following her dreams and rising above all hardships have produced fabulous dividends for Schenika, whose growing line of beauty products is now available at mega-retailer Walmart’s online store.
To date, Schenika has been featured on Fox 5 DC, Good Day Philly, Essence Magazine, BET.com, and many more. This past March, Schenika was an award recipient of the She Is Awards presented by Radio One/Urban One, where she was given the “She Is
Monumental” award. One of the biggest honors to date, Schenika was featured in the July 2022 Issue of Entrepreneurs Herald magazine, as one of the “Top 30 Women Entrepreneurs to Take Inspiration From in 2022.”
