| Abstract | Personal care entrepreneur Lisa Price was born on May 18, 1962 in Brooklyn, New York. She is the founder of Carol's Daughter, one of the first African American-owned bath and beauty stores, whose clientele includes Jada Pinkett Smith and Mary J. Blige. In 1990, Price began making creams and lotions using natural ingredients from her kitchen. In 1993, Carol's Daughter began from her home. By 1999, she had added mail-order, website and walk-in customers, and the business moved from the parlor floor of her brownstone to a formal store in Brooklyn's upscale Fort Greene area. In 2004, Price, along with Hillary Beard wrote her memoir entitled Success Never Smelled So Sweet: How I Followed My Nose and Found My Passion. In 2005, she opened a flagship store in Harlem. Price lived in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn with her husband, Gordon and sons Forrest and Ennis. |
