Why Your Support Matters
The Data Associate Program:
This trailblazing initiative is already making waves. By equipping brands—particularly emerging BIPOC brands—with essential data analytics, we’re empowering their decision making and strategies in order to thrive in a ever changing category. This program has successfully supported top industry brands, proving its effectiveness in driving success.
The Career Pathway Map:
The beauty industry needs leadership that reflects the diversity of its consumers. That’s why we created the Career Pathway Map—to break down barriers and provide people of color with a clear roadmap to elevated roles beyond DEI positions. We equip our Account Associates with essential skills, mentorship, and networking opportunities to secure impactful roles with our partner brands and beyond. Our mission is to make beauty truly inclusive, from the top down, by empowering underrepresented talent to lead and thrive.
The Need for Funds:
Your support is the spark that powers our mission to scale these transformative programs. With additional resources, we can:
Improve Accessibility: Expand outreach to younger individuals who may not know how to break into the beauty industry or navigate its complexities. By offering guidance, resources, and mentorship early on, we can help them envision and build fulfilling careers.
Expand Mentorship Opportunities: Build partnerships with industry leaders to provide invaluable job shadowing, internships, and networking opportunities.
Deliver Real-World Tools and Training: Invest in state-of-the-art resources, from industry-standard software to hands-on workshops, ensuring participants are prepared to excel in their careers.
Together, we can bridge the gap in representation, create lasting opportunities, and redefine what’s possible for BIPOC professionals in beauty, tech, and beyond.
Invest in a More Beautiful Tomorrow
We’re asking for $100,000 to expand and scale our initiatives. Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to transforming lives and empowering communities.
Your support fuels programs designed to lift BIPOC individuals into elevated roles, bridging the gap for diverse talent in the beauty industry. With milestones like expanding our reach to 15+ new cities, connecting with more underrepresented talent nationwide, we’re proving that this mission works—and there’s so much more to do.
