A Toronto dad who was laid off from his full-time job used his time at home with his kids to develop and launch his own skincare brand called Gray.
DeJean Gregory was working as a forklift driver in a warehouse of a chemical wholesale distributor before being laid off in April 2020 because production was slowing down and the business wasn't deemed essential.
He started working on his own brand around January 2021, and a year later in January 2022, Gray was launched.
