Join us for a ‘you don’t want to miss this’ discussion at The Riveter’s Wellness Summit. Keep scrolling to learn why and treat yo’self with a ticket HERE!
Beauty is self created, self defined and self nurtured. So much of who we are is how we think of ourselves. This philosophy is the foundation of our discussion. We will look to explore how each founder has created space for themselves in their respective fields despite saturated markets and naysayers. We’ll dive deeper on what it truly means to provide a brand/business that makes women feel beautiful; really, truly, beyond skin deep beautiful. Amidst rich, reflective conversation, panelists are asked to acknowledge and reflect on topics such as: self appreciation, holistic remedies, personal growth and what it’s like to culture a BRIZNESS (brand + business) that empowers women at large.
Elise Graham Kennedy
learned about toxicity (in almost all American makeup) after she went through extensive treatment for some crazy illnesses. When she started trying out clean products, dozens of amazing women from the chronic illness community, pregnant/nursing friends, and conscious consumer pals kept reaching out for recommendations. She found that didn’t really have many that were accessible, affordable, and high-quality. She created a clean makeup line that consists of those elements. It’s a love letter to women everywhere, inspired by my beautiful friends and family.

Using her culinary background, Mariska began blending plant based formulas in her kitchen — rogue style kitchen chemistry. Four years later, Olive + M was born. Based on the belief that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body, Mariska is very intentional when she formulates. Consciously crafted for all people and all skin types, the entire Olive + M line is all natural, clean, cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, and made in the US.
