This Hampton University Grad Created An Inclusive Toy Line

This Hampton University Grad Created An Inclusive Toy Line

So, years later it got here as no surprise that she selected nursing as a profession. “Like most ladies, I’m a nurturer by heart, so my passion for healthcare made sense,” she shared with Essence. Conversely, Reece said she had a love for beauty as well—an interest that also stemmed from childhood. “The funny thing is I used to be at all times running around with the boys outside as a bit girl, but I still tapped into my femininity by putting on red lipstick even after I wore my play clothes.” This...
