Karleen Roy's Deep Truth, with Lauren Chan & SCHUTZ

“I am my authentic self every day. I created the Vanity Group because I wanted to show up to work everyday as Karleen. When you think about it in our jobs and our careers we spend more time working than we do with our loved ones as we do laying on our couch... I wanted to create an environment, I wanted to create a business, where I could authentically show up as Karleen, talk how I want to talk walk how I want to walk, dress how I want to dress, curse if I need to curse, express myself how I want to express it and get paid to do it so I’ve been able to figure it out. I don’t live a life where I have to code switch or I have to be one way in one environment and another way in another environment, if I cant show up every day and be Karleen I don’t want to be there.” - Karleen Roy, Founder & CEO of The Vanity Group 

Karleen Roy first moved to New York after graduating from Howard University and quickly landed an unpaid internship in the PR department at Def Jam Records. Working her way up in the industry, Karleen was later brought on as Sean "Diddy" Comb's senior executive assistant at Bad Boy Entertainment coordinating all efforts of his multi-billion dollar business entities and arranging all details of his complex social itinerary and whirlwind private life. It was during her time at Bad Boy Entertainment she gained the confidence, expertise and connections to create a business environment that was so authentically Karleen Roy... and in 2013 she founded The Vanity Group. The Vanity Group is a creative events agency specializing in producing high-profile, red carpet events for some of Hollywood's biggest names including but not limited to Sean "Diddy" Combs, Cardi B, Justin Bieber and a host of other A-list brands such as NETFLIX, Amazon Music and L’Oréal.
