PURPOSE

Despite driving billions in consumer spending with some of the most innovative and culturally influential beauty brands, Black women founders remain underfunded, underrepresented, and over-scrutinised.

Their journeys are fraught with challenges that go beyond navigating a system stacked against them.

The personal cost is heavy: isolation, burnout, and the unspoken weight of carrying the expectation to succeed not just for themselves, but for their entire community..

Beyond Beauty exists to honour the resilience and creativity of these women, sharing their triumphs, setbacks, and stories of perseverance.

Through intimate storytelling, editorial features, and community-focused programming, the project aims to elevate their voices, foster connection, and inspire meaningful change.
