Ep. 60: Kumiko Ming - How Kumiko Ming, Business Woman + Owner of House of Uni, Is Creating Multiple Streams Of Income
Today I welcome Kumiko Ming to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Kumiko is a photographer, businesswoman, and the owner of House of Uni. Founded in 2014 Kumiko, a Caribbean woman, wanted something that would represent her culture. With almost 2 decades under her belt in the beauty and fashion industry she wanted to create products that embodied everything she loves; travel, Caribbean music and the unity of people. Starting right from her kitchen is where the Calypso Collection was born. Inspired by everything the Caribbean has to offer from the beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery to the rhythmic reggae and calypso music that takes over your body, House of Uni is your passport to paradise through a tube of lipstick and other self-care essentials.
I had such an amazing time talking to Kumiko. I felt like I was chatting with one of my homies for real. We had such an honest and open conversation about:
- The beauty and fashion industry
- The real behind being a business woman and operating multiple streams of income
- The importance of having a solid support system
- And she even shared some tips for those of us Friends in Beauty that want to start their own product line
What I love most is how she found her love behind the camera + the process of getting House of Uni up and going.
