    Jamie Kern Lima biography

    Speaker Jamie Kern Lima, a two-time New York Times bestselling author, is on a mission to help people recognize their worth. Her latest book, WORTHY: How to Believe You Are and Transform Your Life, continues to inspire thousands. As a guest teacher in Oprah Winfrey’s Life You Want class and the founder of IT Cosmetics, speaker Jamie Kern Lima has built a legacy of empowerment. What started in her living room grew into the nation’s largest luxury makeup brand, eventually selling to L’Oréal in a groundbreaking billion-dollar deal—making her the first female CEO in the company’s 100+ year history.

    Her unwavering belief, deep connection with customers, and genuine authenticity earned her a place on Forbes’ America’s Richest Self-Made Women list. But her journey wasn’t easy. From working as a Denny’s waitress to facing relentless rejection, she’s battled self-doubt, body image struggles, and even questioned her faith. Adopted at birth, Jamie spent years learning that she is here with purpose, on purpose, and for a purpose—a message she now shares with millions.

    Beyond writing, Jamie is a passionate speaker, investor, and also advocate for women’s empowerment. She recently hosted Becoming Unstoppable, a live event that drew over 260,000 women, featuring icons like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Roberts, and Maria Shriver.

    Her philanthropy speaks volumes—she has funded leadership training in over 100 prisons and shelters and donated more than $40 million in products and funds to support women battling cancer. Committed to giving back, Jamie is donating 100% of her author proceeds from WORTHY and Believe IT.
