“I am uncertain where I will be in five years. I am destined and ready for uncertainty. I show up every day, give 100%, no matter what.” Overcoming obstacles in her life has given Jennifer Carrasco the motivation and knowledge needed to become known as one of America’s hardest-working entrepreneurs. With her dedication to succeeding in her passions, Carrasco has brought her company, Virago Skin and Body Studio, and her V Skincare line to the world and proved her abilities as an entrepreneur. Now, she is setting a precedent for what a successful entrepreneur can look and act like, all while setting an example for the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
Over 20 years ago, while living in the city she was born in, Discovery Bay, California, Carrasco found herself a 23-year-old divorced mother. She knew she wanted a career she could call her own as an entrepreneur but was not sure how she would get there. Carrasco surrounded herself with a support group that would help her excel in the beauty world. Founding her own studio and skincare line, the California native brought a whole new definition to what skincare can mean and took great joy in being able to change people’s lives, even in the smallest of ways. “My biggest reward is seeing the people that I surround myself with succeed. That is happiness,” Carrasco shares.
Finding that joy in helping others succeed gave Jennifer a more profound passion for inspiring others. By taking what she has learned in life and business, Carrasco is now working as a business coach alongside Apex Entrepreneur’s Ryan Stewman. On the life side of her dreams, the Virago CEO has also started a podcast called WTF is Beauty Anyway, which helps people find more positive ways to look at themselves and the world around them. “In this lifetime, we all are here for a purpose and a point. That inner voice, that feeling that you cannot shake, that thought you should not ignore,” Carrasco states. “That is your calling, your gift. Don’t let fear stand in your way.” While she continues to succeed in all the fields she pursues, Jennifer Carrasco is not taking the success she has earned for granted, as she is quick to acknowledge those who have helped her along her path and is willing and ready to do the same for those who seek her out.
