Meet Diamond Brown

We were lucky to catch up with Diamond Brown recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Diamond, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I discovered my purpose when my husband was diagnosed with Cancer. His skin became dehydrated due to chemotherapy and radiation, While I was studying to become a nurse, my favorite chemistry teacher and I began researching and formulating plant-based products. Within just one week of my husband using my shea butter, his skin showed tremendous improvement and cleared up significantly.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Hello I’m Diamond Brown CEO/ Founder of Diamond’s Body Care which is a clean beauty product line.

After witnessing the significant improvement in my husband’s skin from using my plant-based shea butter, I decided to pass out samples to other cancer patients and nurses during his chemotherapy sessions. In hopes I could help hydrate their skin as well.

Sadly, my husband passed away from cancer, and I stop making products. The patients and nurses who had gave samples to start calling me asking to purchase, because they noticed a significant impact with using my shea butter.

In response, my father painted a room in my house pink, which we affectionately named the “pink lab.” This became my sanctuary for creating products for those still fighting. It became an integral part of my healing process,

Whenever I felt emotionally overwhelmed of missing my husband, I would go to my pink lab, turn on some music, and start making products. In those moments, I found solace and peace.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
1. Empathy- Having empathy for the needs and struggles of others, particularly those facing health challenges like cancer, was crucial for me with starting my business. Understanding their experiences allowed me to develop products tailored to address their specific concerns.

My advice would be actively listening to your customers and understand their pain points. Empathy can guide product development and help build meaningful connections with your audience. Engage with your target market through surveys, focus groups, or one-on-one conversations to gain insights into their needs and preferences.

2. Knowledge and Research- Of course my background in nursing and chemistry provided a solid foundation for formulating effective and safe products. However, I’ve participated in numerous cohorts and accelerator programs to gain a much knowledge as I can to develop my leadership skills and learn strategies for growing and scaling my business.

Therefore, I suggest investing time in expanding your knowledge base through formal education, online courses, workshops, or self-study just as I did.

3.Resilience and Adaptability: Overcoming challenges, such as the loss of my husband and the transition from caregiver to entrepreneur, required resilience and adaptability. Embracing change and learning from setbacks were key to moving forward.

Cultivate resilience by developing coping strategies, practicing self-care, and seeking support from friends, family, or professional networks. Embrace failures as opportunities for growth and learning. Stay flexible and open-minded, willing to pivot your approach or explore new opportunities as they arise.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I’m interested in assisting aspiring clean beauty entrepreneurs who are just starting out and seeking guidance. With nearly five years of experience as a full-time beauty entrepreneur, I’ve achieved significant success within my industry. Additionally, I’m actively seeking cancer survivors who are willing to share their journey on my platform. and be a part of the community I’m in the process of building.
