My journey with The Inkey List 2020 Campaign

This is a snapshot of the journey with The Inkey List.

I have been in the beauty industry on & off for over 20 years+. I have been searching for an ethical company that is inclusive, clean & produces incredible skincare. I finally found it, The Inkey List.

Only 11 super fans were chosen for the campaign (5 from the UK & 6 from the USA). This amazing opportunity allowed all 11 cast members to be a part of their 2020 campaign & launch of their website. I am very humbled & honored to have been chosen to represent women 40+.

Representing women 40+ is a very passionate subject for me. Not only am I a woman over 40, but I also am a melanin rich, 40+ woman. I want the beauty industry to include this group of elegant women in advertising, makeup/skincare launches, magazine photos & makeup/skincare tutorials to name a few.

This opportunity created a platform for Beauty Forum by Angela. My blog & social media accounts are safe places for all to chat about being authentic, makeup, skincare & style.

I support all women (binary, non binary, LGBTQ, etc.). My focus is on "women in their prime" 40+ (Dominique Sachse). We deserve to be seen, heard, honored, loved, admired & told we are beautiful. You are beautiful.

Thank you for taking the time to enjoy my journey. My goal is to help all beautifully evolved women to shine & be their most authentic selves.

Blessings 💕😉🌷
