Following Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin‘s launch in Africa in May, the sensational beauty brand recently appointed Cameroonian-Lebanese creative as its regional manager for Sub-Saharan Africa.
The multi-hyphenate businesswoman confirmed the appointment yesterday in an Instagram post, saying:
FENTY’S REGIONAL AREA MANAGER! (Pinch me)

I never honestly did know who else to bet on when it came to purchasing my own dreams…. So I bet on MYSELF!

I’m humbled for today, as I know it’s a stunning moment in my professional and personal experience!
