Episode notes

Did you know that 1 in 5 adults has a disability?

The beauty industry has long been a global trendsetter, influencing beauty standards and societal norms. However, amidst the glittering world of cosmetics, there lies a question that demands attention: Has the beauty industry failed the disabled community?

Today’s guest is Diane Cheung - the founder behind MELIOR, a remarkable social enterprise based in East London. Meaning 'better' in Latin, MELIOR's mission is nothing short of inspiring. They are tirelessly tackling social injustices by creating hundreds of hours of meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities, through vegan, refillable cleaning and beauty products that perfectly combine brains, beauty expertise and style. All profits from MELIOR are reinvested to employ people with disabilities and long term health conditions.
