Jeannell Darden

Jeannell Darden

Jeannell owns @moisturelove and she is an intelligent, gorgeous and girl boss! MoistureLove promotes moisture and love for your curls and she has amazing products from serums to creams and conditioners. The products work for you and with your natural hair, accentuating its natural beauty! 

Jeannell is an inspiration to us all and when talking about her experiences as an entrepreneur, she said she has learned “having a morning routine is vital to a successful day. So my secret weapon is starting my day with prayer, yoga, meditation, and journaling!”

Her advice to Chicas everywhere is if you are looking to feel empowered, talk and spend time with people with similar values and goals and Jeannell recommends listening to informative podcasts like NPR’s “How I Built This.”
