Brown Girl Angels is giving you an insider look at the kind of honest, behind-the-scenes conversation that shapes globally recognized brands — at a defining moment for Sahajan Skincare.
In conversation with Sahajan founder, Lisa Mattam and Manica Blain of Top Knot Ventures, the South Asian Woman investor who has championed and supported journeys like hers, this is a rare opportunity to witness what it actually takes to build, back, and scale a brand to this level.
The experience unfolds in three parts:
Part I — Live Private Podcast Taping (Invite-Only)
An exclusive pre-event recording inside the W Hotel sound suite.
Part II — Founder Conversation (Expanded Room)
We open the room to a curated group of 30 South Asian women founders bringing the conversation into a shared, intimate setting.
Part III — Celebration & Connection
An after reception with canapés and drinks.
In Conversation:
Lisa Mattam — Founder, Sahajan Skincare
A Toronto-based, evidence-based skincare brand now launching in Sephora
Manica Blain — Founder, Top Knot Ventures
Angel Investor & Advisor
