it’s your time to shine

Through event speaking, media appearances and corporate partnerships, I help you inspire your community, connect with your clients and empower your employees to live boldly and work with passion.

I work with brands to reach their target audiences including entrepreneurs, small businesses and e-commerce businesses, as well as women and BIPOC. From podcast and media appearances, brand partnerships, workshops, empowering talks and everything in between, I’m the enthusiastic voice in your corner that will guide and cheer you on as you reach your next big moment.

WORK WITH ME

I’m Vivian Kaye, a Business & Empowerment Expert, Keynote Speaker, TV Personality and the Founder of KinkyCurlyYaki.

As the founder of three businesses, I know all about the highs that come with scaling to 6-figure months and hundreds of 5-star reviews, to the lows of late inventory and irate customers and all the crazy in between. I’ve been there, done that, and have the receipts to prove it!

For the last decade, I focused on the e-commerce world where I built KinkyCurlyYaki, a textured hair extensions company, into a multi-million dollar business. I love passing on tried and true advice I’ve picked up along the way to help others grow the businesses of their dreams.
