The mother of global rap superstar Nicki Minaj is reportedly starting a lingerie line to help reawaken sexuality in older women, according to an exclusive report by The Jasmine Brand.
Beauty maven and matriarch Carol Maraj is looking to launch the eponymous lingerie store, Carol Maraj Collections, beginning Oct. 27. The sexy undergarments will reportedly be “size-inclusive,” and range in prices from $65 to $95.
Maraj conveyed dismay that “mature women are just throwing in the towel” when they reach a certain point in their lives.
“So, I want to do this mostly for the mature woman who needs to step up. They need to see how beautiful they really are,” she said.
Maraj — who named her famous daughter Onika Tanya Maraj when she was born in their hometown of Saint James, Port of Spain, in Trinidad and Tobago — already had an entrepreneurial mindset when she and Nicki Minaj moved to New York.
“It was very important for me to come to the States as an immigrant because I come from very humble beginnings. I come from having my own businesses with my gown collection,” she said, according to The Jasmine Brand. “I just want to encourage Trinidadians and other Caribbean women to say if Carol Maraj can do it I can do it also.”
Maraj is just getting started
In addition to the Carol Maraj Collections, the serial entrepreneur is looking to expand her burgeoning beauty empire very soon.
“Yes, by the fall my perfume line will launch. I am really into beauty,” Maraj said. “Everyone’s telling me I should do more. I already have a wig line ‘Elegantly Carol,’ and everyone is telling me that I should do a skincare line as well.”
