POC Beauty
Empowering beauty for all with inclusive skincare and cosmetics designed for people of color.
The best leader is not the smartest person in the room.
The leaders who create the greatest impact are often the ones who listen deeply, stay curious, bring people together, and create space for others to thrive.
Leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about asking better questions, building trust, and creating a culture where every voice feels valued.
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Karen and discuss inclusive leadership and belonging—two concepts that have become increasingly important in a world that is more connected, yet often more divided.

What a joy to sit down with Karen Kirton and reflect on the journey so far..au
We spoke about leadership, business, creativity, culture, and the many lessons that come from building something meaningful from the ground up.
One thing I've learnt over the years is that leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room. It's about creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and inspired to grow.
Whether through dance, beauty, technology, or community work, I've always been drawn to building things that help people feel a sense of belonging.
Thank you, Karen, for such a thoughtful conversation and for creating space to share my story. 💛

Your lips are already feeling it. 🥶
Winter in Australia hits different — dry, flaky, and no amount of lip balm seems to cut it.
That's where our Lip Scrub comes in. ✨
Formulated to gently buff away dry skin with the cutest little scrub brush included — leaving your lips soft, smooth and actually ready for colour.

Sometimes the businesses we build are really extensions of the stories we carry.
Grateful to share more of my journey across POC Beauty and Chandralaya with The Women of Colour Founders Network 🤍
This journey has always been about more than beauty or dance alone. It has been about identity, culture, representation, storytelling, and creating spaces where people feel seen.
Thank you for being part of the journey ✨ Link in Bio

Uncomfortable rooms.
Thats where growth lives. 🫱Swipe🤍
A couple of weekends ago, I had the amazing opportunity to be part of the first Australian Tamil Market organised by Held over two days, it was such a beautiful experience.😊
As a founder, nothing excites me more than meeting the community, getting to know people, hearing their stories, and helping them feel truly beautiful through our products. Over the course of the weekend, the foot traffic reached nearly 2000+ people — and seeing so many walk away with a piece of POC Beauty in their hands and on their beautiful faces brought me so much joy.
Watching people try the products firsthand, connect with@ the shades, and genuinely light up in the moment reminded me exactly why I started this journey. Representation matters, and creating products that people can see themselves in will always be at the heart of what we do.
A heartfelt thank you to ATCC for creating a platform that celebrates community, culture, and small businesses.
Here’s to building more spaces where our stories, brands, and people can continue to shine ✨
