The Baddest Bitch in the Building

• Beauty with a Backbone: How Jenn Harper turned a 3 A.M. dream into a clean beauty empire

  I sat down to talk with Jenn Harper, the founder & CEO of Cheekbone Beauty Cosmetics - the biggest Indigenous-founded beauty brand in Canada. Jenn opens up about her story of mental health, intergenerational trauma, and the way she turned her life around by refusing to let her challenges define who she is. This conversation was so special, and Jenn shared some very personal and vulnerable moments. Regardless of where you are in life, I’m sure you’ll resonate with her story and learn a thing or two about yourself 🩷 I definitely did. 💄Follow Cheekbone on Instagram and TikTok (stay tuned for their upcoming launch on April 22!)👸Follow Jenn on Instagram and LinkedIn🌐 Shop Cheekbone products on their website (use code NEEKI20 for 20% off), Sephora Canada, and JCPenny A bit about Jenn:Jenn founded Cheekbone Beauty in 2015. The company’s journey began as an online business, a direct-to-consumer brand that took pride in its commitment to reducing environmental impact and supporting Indigenous communities. In 2019, Jenn appeared on Dragon's Den (the Canadian equivalent of Shark Tank). She turned down the Dragons’ offers and went on to steer Cheekbone towards exponential growth, including contracts with major retailers in North America. This placed Cheekbone on equal footing with global industry giants. Cheekbone products are now sold in Sephora Canada and 550 JCPenney locations across the USA.Jenn is a voice for topics that are reshaping the business landscape: social entrepreneurship, empathy, representation, inclusivity, and sustainability. Jenn weaves her narrative as both a woman and a representative of North America's Indigenous peoples, and she embodies the importance of these values in today's business ecosystem.In 2022, Jenn was listed among the 100 Women of Influence by Entrepreneur Magazine (a list graced by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian). In 2023, Jenn was conferred an Honorary Doctorate degree from the Goodman School of Business at Brock University. This honorary degree recognized her dedication to community betterment and sustainability. In 2024, Jenn was also named as one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🌸 DM/follow me on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @baddestbinthebldg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💓 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DM/follow me on TikTok⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @baddest.b.in.the.bldg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

• Girly law of power #14: Always be the centre of attention

  We live in a world where women are judged by their appearances. Instead of complaining about it, let’s flip the script and work backwards. Let’s decide how we want to be perceived, then dress for the part. That way, we’re in control of the narrative. Let the world judge us by our appearance allllllll it wants.In this episode we’ll discuss:- Why looks hold power & how being the centre of attention puts you in a position of power- Why visibility = value and enables you to command respect, making it easier to bring peoples’ defenses down so you can get what you want- 3 tips that will help you dress in a way that puts you in control of the narrative- The easiest way to stand out in any crowd I highly recommend you listen to law 9 (act like a queen to be treated like one) and law 3 (so much depends on your looks, use that to your advantage), as they have many parallels to this law!✨Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true. You are the baddest bitch in the building.Love, Neeki xo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🌸 DM/follow me on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @baddestbinthebldg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💓 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DM/follow me on TikTok⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @baddest.b.in.the.bldg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

• How to be a b*tch 💄 (with Cami Sophia)

  Today we're joined by the lovely Cami Sophia as we discuss one of the best books of all time, Why Men Love Bitches. The fact that this author hasn't won a Nobel Prize is beyond me. The pretty girls are already familiar with what we mean by "bitch," but in case you need a refresher - a bitch is a woman who holds her own, doesn't need anyone's acceptance, and doesn't compromise on her standards. Aka she's someone who loves herself unconditionally.In this episode, we get into:- How women are conditioned to be doormats and men are conditioned to be bitches (+ obvi how to become a bitch)- Our own stories of how we went from doormat to bitch in our past relationships- How Cami manifested her man (the power of writing things down you guys!!!)- Why the only important form of validation is self-validation- Cami's patriarchy hacksLove,Neeki xo📍Follow Cami on ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠TikTok⁠, ⁠and YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠🌐 Check out her other links here🎧 Listen to Cami’s podcast, With Intention on Spotify or Apple ⁠🌸 DM/follow me on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @baddestbinthebldg⁠💓 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DM/follow me on TikTok⁠:⁠⁠ @baddest.b.in.the.bldg⁠🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube⁠💌 Work with me: [email protected]
