At just 26 years of age, Olamide Olowe, founder of the Topicals skincare brand, has become the youngest black woman ever to raise more than $2m (£1.7m) in a financing round, according to business magazine Forbes.
She smashed her own previous record and raised $10m.
Ms Olowe posted on her Instagram account that she was “excited” by the announcement and would continue expanding the company and supporting non-profits that provide mental health support.
The CEO and founder launched the company just two years ago, fuelled by a lifelong dream to create products that tackled the skincare concerns she had growing up. (BBC)
