Whitney Sheppard, is the CEO of Black Luxe Beauty. In 2020, she graduated from the University of Memphis obtaining her Bachelors in Business Administration. As a recent graduate, she worked in her field but always had a passion for beauty. As a young girl she dreamed of owning her own company one day whether it was in fashion, skin, or beauty. She knew she wanted to give back and leave an imprint. So in early 2023, Whitney began to take action and formed a business which is now known as Blac Luxe Beauty. A skin care and beauty company.
