As House of Tara prepares to mark 27 incredible years, a beautiful moment in history is unfolding, one filled with legacy, growth, and new beginnings.
Tara Fela-Durotoye, the trailblazing woman behind House of Tara, has officially handed over the leadership of the company to a new Managing Director, Mrs. Rosemary Layode. In her heartfelt announcement, Tara shared:
“As we count down to 27 years of House of Tara, I am excited to officially announce the ‘Passing of the Baton of Leadership’ to our new Managing Director, Mrs. Rosemary Layode.”
This handover is more than just a change in leadership, it’s the continuation of a vision that has shaped the beauty industry in Nigeria and across Africa for nearly three decades.
Who Is Rosemary Layode?
Rosemary stepped into her new role in March 2024, and this month marks her one year anniversary as MD of House of Tara. She’s not new to excellence, she brings with her wisdom, strength, and a deep understanding of what House of Tara represents. Tara Fela-Durotoye couldn’t be more proud, saying:
“She stepped into this role in March 2024, and as she marks one year in office, I invite you all to cheer her on with your best wishes and prayers.”
It’s a touching moment for everyone who has followed the House of Tara story, a story built on purpose, passion, and empowering women.
Tara’s Legacy Lives On
When Tara started House of Tara, she wasn’t just building a makeup brand, she was creating a movement. From launching Nigeria’s first bridal directory to opening the first makeup school in the country, she has inspired thousands of women to dream big and lead with courage.
Today, House of Tara has grown into a household name with 23 stores and 14 beauty schools across Africa. It has given women the tools to build careers, find confidence, and step boldly into the world of beauty and business.
What This New Chapter Means
This moment reminds us that true leadership is not just about building, it’s also about passing it on. Tara has laid a solid foundation, and now, Rosemary Layode is stepping in to carry that legacy forward with grace and purpose.
There’s something truly powerful about a woman choosing to raise another, to pass on the baton and cheer from the sidelines. That’s what this moment represents.
Looking Ahead
As House of Tara steps into its 27th year, it does so with fresh leadership, new dreams, and the same unwavering mission: to empower women, celebrate beauty, and change lives.
Tara’s words say it all: “It’s not an end; it’s a new beginning.”
