She’s stepping into the spotlight.With her latest venture, IKNOW Skincare, Germaine is crafting a powerful message in every bottle: that mature women — especially Black and Brown women — deserve to be seen, celebrated, and served by the industry they’ve so often been left out of.In this episode, she speaks with deep clarity about what it took to get here — the grit, the gratitude, and the long-game vision. She shares why legacy isn’t about ego, but about impact, and why the fourth quarter isn’t the end — it’s the moment to rise.This is more than a conversation about beauty. It’s a story about ownership, bold beginnings, and the quiet power of knowing your time is now.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. 📲 Follow us: @youarenotinvisibleafter50 🔗 Follow Germaine: @detroitgermaine#YouAreNotInvisibleAfter50 #GermaineBoldsLeftridge #S8E11 #FourthQuarterPower #RealWomenRealStories #BlackWomenInBeauty #BeautyHasNoAge #IKNOWSkincare #LegacyWork #BuiltNotBorrowed #RedefiningBeauty
