In this episode of Moxie Uncut, beauty entrepreneur and pioneer Suzie Wokabi shares her powerful reset journey- from launching Kenya's first homegrown makeup brand to navigating the complex identity shifts and creative frictions of a corporate acquisition. When her long-term relationship with her original business model transformed into employment, Suzie adapted. She balanced the emotional realities of letting go with strategic new ventures, channelling her expertise into mentoring the next generation, driving sales for sustainable regional brands, and laying the groundwork for a pan-African beauty collective.
