How This Entrepreneur Built Black Girl Sunscreen to a 5M+ Valuation, with Shontay Lundy

Today I’m joined by Shontay Lundy, the Founder of Black Girl Sunscreen. 

In 2016, when Shontay became tired of using sunscreen that left a white residue, she decided to leverage her MBA and knack for business to develop a melanin friendly option for women who look like her called Black Girl Sunscreen. The groundbreaking product has not only provided women with darker skin tones a healthy option to protect their skin, but the brand has cultivated a strong reputation for empowering black women.

In this episode we’re chatting about how she got started, why the violin plays a key part in this story, her experience with fundraising and key learnings for women who have a big idea and want to start their own business.
