Keisha Elise, Founder & CEO of Keisha Elise Cosmetics

With a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Consumer Sciences from North Carolina Central University (NCCU), my journey began in education, where I developed a deep commitment to nurturing and empowering others. As a dedicated educator and program manager, I honed my skills in leadership and community engagement, which have become foundational to my role as a beauty brand founder.

Driven by a personal mission to bridge the gap in beauty representation, I launched Keisha Elise Cosmetics with my daughter Kaylah. Our brand focuses on providing high-quality, vegan, and cruelty-free cosmetics that celebrate and uplift women and girls of color. Our Mommy & Me Clean Beauty line is designed not only to enhance beauty but also to foster meaningful connections between mothers and daughters through shared beauty experiences.

Beyond beauty, my passion for community impact extends to our Educational Scholarship Fund for Single Moms. This initiative supports single mothers by alleviating the financial burden of educational and childcare expenses, enabling them to pursue their dreams and build a better future for their families. This fund embodies my commitment to creating opportunities and empowering others, reflecting the core values of our brand.

At Keisha Elise Cosmetics, we are dedicated to making every individual feel seen, valued, and beautiful. Join us in our mission to transform the beauty industry and make a positive impact on the lives of women and girls everywhere.
