07/02/19 • 24 min

Mollie is a brand expert, food lover, health enthusiast, and mom. She's the co-founder of Birchbox and was most recently the VP of brand and customer experience at Hungryroot.

After graduating from Harvard and working 5 years at The Conde Nast Traveler, Chen went on to build numerous businesses from the ground up. Now, Chen uses her brand knowledge and experience to consult, advise, and ANGEL invest in new companies.

We’ll also hear from LIVELY Ambassador Bianca, who is the founder of Honey B Media Group. Her first YOLO moment was launching her own creative agency only 6 months after graduating college. After not getting into the media firms she wanted battling imposter syndrome that comes with launching your own business, Bianca has been a pioneer and example for women and people of color who want to step out and achieve their own dreams.
