Details

We drink our coffee to wake us up and get us through our 9-5. Though it can be for pleasure, coffee is usually a means of survival. At the end of the day, we drink our cocktails to unwind, to relax, to socialize, to celebrate. In fact, we’re often sipping a cocktail while we’re working on our sacred passion projects in the evening. People are sacrificing their happiness by staying in jobs that make them miserable because they are too afraid to let go of their paycheck or security blanket and do the hard work. But what happens when you choose your cocktail over your coffee? In other words, we’re talking about choosing your passion over your paycheck. Cocktails over Coffee is hosted by Jenae Green (@jenaedestiny on Instagram), a former New York City fashion executive who left her corporate job in luxury fashion and moved to Paris. There she taught a self-built Event Planning course at the International Fashion Academy Paris, followed by months of travel throughout Europe. Upon her return to the city, in addition to pursuing her life as a consultant, she wanted to find a way to inspire others to take the leap to happiness and alas, Cocktails over Coffee was born. Each episode will feature happy hour with a special guest that has taken their own personal life leap into a self-built career or lifestyle of their dreams.

Skincare And Tech Guru On Her Journey To Entrepreneurship

Founder Bianca Maxwell was looking for a way to track the progress of her skin, which led her to Skinary, a digital health company. After someone at Bianca’s job said “her skin looked angry,” Maxwell leaned on her experience in e-commerce management, global brand management, and building digital platforms, to develop the iPhone application that she felt was necessary for people like her. 

Skinary monitors skin changes from breakouts to dryness, encouraging user’s observations of their diet and behaviors to develop thoughtful lifestyle choices and cleansing routines. Using artificial intelligence to help people understand their skin, users can upload selfies to better track and focus on habits that trigger or irritate problem areas. 

Described as a smart diary for your skin, the free application launching in May 2020 also offers recommendations on things to try and products to use based on the daily journaling of your food intake and product usage. Maxwell’s passion for womxn and minority-owned companies is also seen through B.Made.Well, her consulting company that assists other female founders in digital branding, strategy, and development. When she’s not talking about her growing tech businesses with investors, Maxwell is an avid traveler and advocate for the elevation of women founders and minority entrepreneurs.
