Jennifer Yen played the villain character Vypra on the hit series "Power Rangers: Light Force," but in real life, she struggled to find self-confidence due to skin issues from wearing heavy makeup for the show. Frustrated with trying techniques and products that didn't work, Yen drew upon on her Chinese roots and looked to her grandmothers for help, an experience that led her to give up acting in order to create her first skin care line. She tells "LA Stories" host Giselle Fernandez it was her second line that found success by celebrating her Asian heritage, which she didn't embrace the first time around per the advice of some investors. Yen now hopes to inspire other women in business to continue to fight for whatever dream they're chasing.
