Jamie Kern Lima      

Founder of IT Cosmetics, Author of "WORTHY" and "Believe It", Investor & Advocate for Women Entrepreneurs

Jamie Kern Lima is a New York Times bestselling author of her new book "WORTHY: How to Believe You Are and Transform Your Life," she’s a guest teacher of the "Life You Want" class live with Oprah Winfrey, and Founder of IT Cosmetics, a company she started in her living room and grew to the largest luxury makeup brand in the country. She sold the company to L’Oréal in a billion-dollar deal and became the first female CEO of a brand in its 100+ year history. Her love of her customers and remarkable authenticity and belief eventually landed her on the Forbes America's Richest Self-Made Women list.

She’s been a Denny’s waitress, a struggling entrepreneur, lived a life-long journey of rejections, and has battled her way through years of self-doubt, body-doubt and God-doubt. She was adopted at birth and has been on a journey of learning to believe she’s here with purpose, on purpose and for a purpose and is worthy, lovable and enough.

She's a two-times New York Times bestselling author of "Believe It: How to Go from Underestimated to Unstoppable," and her new book "WORTHY: How to Believe You Are and Transform Your Life."

She's a mother of two and an active investor, speaker, and thought leader who is passionate about inspiring and elevating women. She recently held her live event called Becoming Unstoppable, where more than 260,000 women joined live from their living rooms, and many iconic women of our time including Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Roberts and Maria Shriver all joined to support Lima in her mission of building self-worth in every single girl, woman and person!

Lima’s also an active philanthropist who has funded leadership training in more than 100 prisons and shelters across the United States and has donated over $40 million in product and funds to help women face the effects of cancer with confidence. She’s donating 100% of her author proceeds for both "WORTHY" and "Believe IT."
