How to raise money, break into Sephora, and disrupt beauty norms with Babba Rivera, who’s done it all

On this episode of Hot Takes, we’re joined by Babba Rivera, Founder and CEO of Ceremonia, a clean hair care brand rooted in Latinx heritage. From growing up in a Chilean household in Sweden to moving to New York City for work, Babba’s relationship with the beauty industry has always been one of wanting more and better. Having always felt under-represented as a Latina woman in magazines, the beauty aisles, or in the realm of business executives, Babba knew she had the opportunity to reclaim power in her heritage for herself and future generations. And reclaim she did! Now uprooting beauty norms and entrepreneurial milestones - she’s in a small group of women who have raised over $1mm in VC funding, raising 10MM to date for Ceremonia - her Hot Take is a reminder of just how influential the beauty industry can be.
