There is no doubt that Amanda E/J Morrison is at the helm of modernizing the sexual health industry. As co-founder and president of Julie, a groundbreaking FDA-approved emergency contraception (EC) brand, Morrison is on a mission to transform the discourse around sexual health. Morrison built Julie to be the friendly and knowledgeable "cool big sister" for a new generation, providing scientifically-backed education and products. Not only is Julie working to destigmatize EC, but it is also fostering greater accessibility to communities across the country through its impactful 1-to-1 donation program.
Morrison is no stranger to leading change-making companies. Before her role at Julie, she spent five years at the forefront of inclusivity in the beauty industry as the COO and co-founder of Mented Cosmetics, a trailblazing makeup brand designed by and for women of color. Before her successful ventures as a founder, Morrison’s professional journey encompassed diverse roles, including an analyst at Goldman Sachs, a marketing manager at TIME Inc., and a Harvard Business School student.
Morrison has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to problem-solving and driving positive change throughout her career. Her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to making a difference have been the driving forces behind her career pivots. With Julie, Morrison is once again leading a revolution, aiming to shift the narrative around sexual health and provide a platform that empowers individuals to take charge of their well-being.
