“As women, and especially black women, of course we are disappointed to see the pendulum swing so far so fast on the issue of DEI but we want founders focused on providing superior products at the right price, increasing brand awareness and building relationships that help them scale. The support these beauty brands enjoyed in the COVID and George Floyd investment era was short-lived, despite what the data says about minority women doing more with less. So, we are not just a community for founders, we connect them with retail partners, resources and consumers through campaigns and initiatives like this one, that increase their visibility and ultimately create value for the entire industry.” said founder and CEO, Brittany Hicks.
