A Harvard Moment I’ll Never Forget!

A Harvard Moment I’ll Never Forget!

Reflections from the Future of Commerce Executive Leadership Program

I still can’t believe I’m writing this — but yes, I had the absolute honor of attending the Future of Commerce Executive Leadership Program at Harvard as part of the Maesa Magic Incubator!✨

Being on the Harvard campus, surrounded by some of the most inspiring beauty founders, industry leaders, and fellow entrepreneurs, was one of the most surreal experiences of my journey so far. I soaked in every second — from thought-provoking lectures to powerful conversations that reminded me why I started The Potion Studio in the first place.

As a founder building a clean, textured haircare brand rooted in self-care, simplicity, and inclusivity, it meant everything to be in a space that valued forward-thinking leadership and celebrated diverse voices. I walked away with new tools, fresh ideas, and most of all — a full heart.

A huge thank you to Maesa for curating such a thoughtful, inspiring experience. Your support and vision continue to make space for so many of us to dream bigger and lead boldly.

More to come — but for now, I’m just soaking it all in. 💫
