This week in the guest chair we have Kimberly Waters, founder of Modern Urban Sensory Experiences, or MUSE, a luxury boutique fragrance house based in Harlem, NY. When Kimberly realized her role in corporate America was not providing her room to grow into her potential, she launched MUSE out of the parlor floor of a friend’s brownstone on Convent Ave in Harlem and has been growing ever since.
