Keyshia Ka’Oir, formerly known as Keyshia Dior, is a model, actress, and businesswoman of Jamaican and American descent.

After changing her name from Keyshia Dior to Keyshia Ka’Oir and establishing an exclusive line of vividly colored lipsticks, she capitalized on her reputation and devoted fan base to establish a cosmetic empire.

Komen Breast Care Foundation and to boost breast cancer awareness.
