The Problem
The beauty industry, often seen as a realm of glamour and possibility, has remained largely inaccessible to beautypreneurs from marginalized communities, stifling their potential for growth and innovation. Without adequate resources, education, and opportunities, those beautypreneurs are left on the sidelines, unable to fully participate in and contribute to an industry that thrives on diversity and creativity. It is imperative that we dismantle these barriers and create pathways for beautypreneurs from underserved communities to flourish, ensuring that the beauty industry truly reflects the rich tapestry of humanity it serves.
