In today's episode, Lindsay interviews Jenn Harper, founder of Cheekbone Beauty. Jenn was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario and relocated to the Niagara Region where she was raised and developed a passion for cosmetics.  For Jenn, make-up has become a means of expression that she feels has amazing power.  There needed to be a brand that was made in Canada, that was never tested on animals, free of all the junk and that gave back to the First Nations community.  The brand did not exist, so Jenn created it!  Through countless hours over the past two and a half years, Cheekbone Beauty was born!

In addition to Cheekbone’s mission, Jenn strives to educate as many Canadians as possible about the Residential School System and the effects it has had on her family and friends through decades of generational trauma.  Jenn speaks regularly to university, college and high school students about social entrepreneurship, empathy and the history of her First Nations family.   Jenn has also been invited to speak to various entrepreneur groups, women in business associations, Apple Canada, and First Nations organizations across Canada.
