Nadia Simone Simms knows that entrepreneurship isn’t just about building a business. It’s also about building community. ✨

To close out #BlackBusinessMonth, we followed the 19-year-old founder of Nine Beauty as she spent the day at the Arizona Black Women’s Expo, connecting with fellow Black business owners, pouring into the community and reflecting on what it means to grow alongside other entrepreneurs who share the same vision.

As part of our Black Business Month celebration, we also sat down with Nadia to talk about building Nine Beauty, embracing every version of herself and redefining success as a young entrepreneur.
