Opportunities Beyond the Program: Vanessa Yeboah Joins Valerie Lawson on Set in the UK

At the Valerie Cares Foundation, our mission goes beyond education. We are dedicated to creating real pathways that connect emerging artists to opportunities where they can learn, grow, and thrive within the global beauty industry.

One of the most inspiring examples of this vision in action is Vanessa Yeboah, a talented graduate of our upskilling program, who recently joined Valerie Lawson on set for a TV production series in the UK.

This opportunity reflects what we stand for: Education, access, exposure, and experience. Through our continuous partnerships and mentorship initiatives, we ensure that our alumni don’t just complete a program, but step into meaningful professional experiences that shape their careers in the beauty industry.

Vanessa’s participation on this international set allowed her to witness the fast-paced demands of production, collaborate with industry professionals, and gain firsthand insight into the creative and technical excellence required at the highest levels.

For Valerie, this milestone highlights the purpose behind the Foundation: to create a bridge between education and industry. “Watching Vanessa apply the skills she learned through our program in a real production environment was a proud moment,” she shared. “It’s a reminder that when we invest in training with purpose, we create talent that can travel and compete globally.”

As we continue to grow, our goal is to open even more doors for young artists like Vanessa, to learn beyond the classroom, to create confidently, and to lead with excellence wherever their artistry takes them.

Stay tuned for more stories of our graduates and their journeys beyond the program.
