The event will feature celebrity makeup artist and beauty industry entrepreneur Kim Baker as the keynote speaker.
“Union County Means Business is about providing our local entrepreneurs and professionals with the tools and connections they need to thrive,” said Union County Chairwoman Lourdes M. Leon. “This event highlights how passion and hard work can shape a brand and build lasting success. We are excited to welcome Kim Baker, whose journey is a testament to the power of determination and innovation.”
Baker, a former Wilhelmina model turned commercial makeup artist, has worked with A-list celebrities including Tiffany Haddish, Tom Cruise, Danica Patrick, Toni Braxton, John Legend, Dakota Fanning, and Angela Yee.
