Hi everyone, I'm Hillary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Huat Ware.

And this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their Second Life.

I am so excited to bring Second Life live to you all today, and to introduce my guest,

founder and CEO of OMA Beauty, Sharon Chudder.

Sharon has been invested in the beauty industry for quite some time.

She single-handedly brought Revlon to Nigeria when she was just a teenager more on that

later, and then moved to Australia where she worked for L'Oreal and then later as head

of operations for benefit cosmetics.

But after growing frustrated with the lack of true representation in the industry, Sharon

decided to strike out on her own and forge a new path by creating her own brand, OMA Beauty.

OMA launched last April with 108 SKUs and is on a mission to push the industry forward

and challenge the system with products that are innovative, radical, uncompromising,

and most importantly, accessible to everyone.

With no further ado, I am so excited to bring you Sharon Chudder now on Second Life.

So Sharon, on this podcast, we like to start at the beginning.

So what did you study in school and what did you think you were going to be when you grew

up?

So, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot.

Really?

That's what I thought, even everybody at home called me pilot.
