Before founding Black Girl Sunscreen, Shontay Lundy spent more than a decade in corporate America, building the adaptability and drive it would later take to launch a business from scratch. But being a founder meant mastering new disciplines, including chemistry, so she could ensure her product truly solved the problems she set out to address. Her story is a reminder that every experience counts. The skills you gain, no matter the industry, can become rocket fuel when you decide to build something of your own. Shontay approached her business the same way she approached her personal growth, by seeking knowledge, asking the right questions, and never being afraid to admit what she didn’t know. In the process, she didn’t just build a product. She became the expert her business needed at every stage. #DecodeTheEncoded #BlackAmbition #Leadership #ShontayLundy #BlackGirlSunscreen #BeautyIndustry #FounderJourney
