Anita shares how her first venture in the beauty tech space shaped her entrepreneurial mindset, what it felt like to close a business that had become part of her identity, and how motherhood inspired the creation of a children\u2019s book that would grow into a broader product and education platform.<\/p>\n <\/a>\n \n \n \"\"\n \n
