From Beauty Consumers to Careers in Beauty
Help Us Raise $100,000 to Launch 500 Beauty Industry Careers
The Beauty Industry Needs Diverse Leaders
The beauty industry is a $500 billion powerhouse, yet only 4-5% of its employees are Black. While Black consumers spend $6.6 billion annually on beauty products, they rarely get the opportunity to shape the industry's future. We're changing that.
Our Vision: Creating Tomorrow's Beauty Innovators
The Curly Code is expanding beyond teaching Black girls to love their natural hair – we're preparing them to lead the beauty industry. In 2025, we're launching an ambitious career development program to transform 500 young women (ages 16-24) from beauty enthusiasts into beauty industry professionals.
