Women to Women Nevada with Kame Masterson

This week's Women to Women Nevada interview is with Kame Masterson of Carson City who is owner of a home-based anti-aging business.

During the interview, in which Masterson explains her background, she also shares some of her family's story of how her parents, both Japanese, were put into internment camps during World War II.

Masterson also discusses how she got into the business of selling anti-aging skin products which began as a quest to help her find something after years of smoking and being in the sun. You can go to Masterson's website here. The company is called Nu Skin.

Women to Women Nevada, hosted by Carol Paz, is televised on Charter Media every Thursday at 7 pm on Channel 3 (Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Fallon, Lake Tahoe) and 15 (in Carson City, Gardnerville, Dayton) and appears every Friday on Carson Now. The locally produced and privately owned program features Northern Nevada women who are making a difference in their communities and in the region.

The interview style of Women to Women allows for an open discussion on the personal and professional challenges that each guest has been faced with and how she has worked through such struggles. The goal of the program is to offer women hope, support and encouragement as they face their own difficulties. 

Guests range in ages as well as circumstances and come from different cultures, religions, traditions, educational levels and professional achievements. The common thread is that they are willing to share their lives with others in the hope that what they have found and learned can be of benefit to others.
