In today's episode of Beyond the Business Suit, we're finishing our “Black Girl Magic” series where we have been featuring black women who have launched businesses that serve black women and or women of color. In this interview I had the pleasure of chatting with Roshell Rinkins. Roshell is not only killing it in supply chain management at a large tech company, she is also the Founder of Liquid Courage Cosmetics. Liquid Courage is a world class beauty lifestyle movement providing high-quality lipsticks and apparel for over 20K beauty enthusiasts conquering life, family, career and everything in between. Roshell is one of those people who inspires those around her to do more in this life.
In this episode we discussed
What led her to launching Liquid Courage
How she is able to juggle her 9 to 5 and a business
How lipstick is more than just makeup
What budding side-preneurs can do today to get started while working a full time job
A lot more…
We recorded this right at the end of 2017 and from following her on social media, I can already tell Roshell's 2018 is off to a great start!
Roshell has over 10 years of strategic sourcing and supply chain experience, including inbound/outbound logistics as well as raw material sourcing, that spans multiple disciplines & industry segments. The Ft. Lauderdale native has built mastery in strategic sourcing, procurement, and supply chain management honed at some of the nation's top companies including Apple, Procter & Gamble (P&G), Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs.

3. The best advice she's ever received: “Done is better than perfect.”
4. Three of her favorite things: Santorini (Greece), her mama's home cooking and having in person girl talk.
5. Her favorite power outfit or something that she puts on to feel most powerful: All black: a black pencil skirt and a blouse with a broach or something else to add a pop of color.
