Understand Your Why (w. Cora Miller)

Oby Chiapa • March 7, 2021

This week on the podcast, I speak with Fonder and CEO of Young Kings Hair Care line, Cora Miller.

Cora was the VP of External Affairs for United Health Group, where she managed its corporate social responsibility initiatives. 

As a first-time mom, she found herself with a beautiful baby boy with so much hair but could not find hair products to style it.

Bothered by the lack of representation of products for young black and brown boys, she decided to create YOUNG KINGS HAIR CARE: royally crafted plant-based vegan hair products fit for a young king.

Cora shares an honest account of creating products for retail and dishes on the good, the bad, and the ugly along the way.
