Flawless by #GabrielleUnion, a haircare brand created to celebrate all different hair types, recently announced the recipients of its inaugural ‘Lift As We Climb’ grant initiative for Black, female-owned businesses.
According to a press release, the initiative aims to help elevate and support Black businesses which have historically seen a barrier to access capital, expertise, and opportunities.
“We were so thrilled to see the response to the initiative,” said Gabrielle Union. “We saw so much amazing talent and entrepreneurial spirit throughout the process, so we are excited to be able to shine a much-needed light on this success.”
To be considered, eligible founders submitted a one-minute video and a brand deck to an expert panel of judges.
Out of 500 submissions, six finalists were chosen to participate in a virtual pitch competition on May 10th. Following the competition, one recipient from the three qualifying categories was selected.
Congratulations to the recipients! #BWLM💕
