About this episode

Shontay Lundy is the founder of Black Girl Sunscreen. This Entrepreneur changed the conversation around sun safety. After 18 years in School and 12 Years in the corporate arena, from New York to Florida, to Los Angeles, this entrepreneur and her dog found inspiration in Los Angeles after a much-needed break. Her first venture working for herself ended up being a huge success. In this close-up conversation, we talk details about raising capital for distribution in major retailers to how to end the myth of whether people of color need protection from the sun.
