Queen Kisses Beauty Empire, also known as Q.K.B.E, was founded in 2019 when I was 18 years old. On my birthday, my mother made me her business partner, and together, we started offering beauty services like nails and hair from the comfort of our home. Our dream was to build a business that made people feel beautiful and confident, but shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, forcing us to pause our operations as we could no longer work in close contact with clients. My mother, feeling discouraged by the challenges brought on by the pandemic, decided to step back from the business, leaving me with the foundation of what could have been.

However, in 2023, after a period of reflection, I decided to revive the business with a new vision. Wanting to make my mother proud and reignite the spark of our dream, I relaunched Q.K.B.E on my birthday, April 10th, 2023. This time, I shifted focus from providing in-person beauty services to creating cosmetic products like whipped Shea butter, lip glosses, glitter, eyelashes, and other beauty essentials. I found great joy in crafting unique beauty products that catered to every woman’s needs. My lashes are specially designed by the women in my family, each pair reflecting our personalities and styles, making them special and personal to each customer.

The creation of Q.K.B.E was deeply rooted in my desire to help women feel beautiful with the simple idea that "a little goes a long way." Growing up, I watched my brother and sister struggle with dry, tough skin, and I wanted to create something to help moisturize and nurture their skin. The whipped Shea butter was born out of that need, and I am proud to offer products that serve not only to enhance beauty but also nourish the skin. As I continue to grow Q.K.B.E, my goal is to show women/ men that enhancing their beauty doesn’t require excessive products or complicated routines. A small touch of love and care is enough to shine through all seasons of life.
