With an ever-growing intercultural influence, Black women continue to play a paramount – and often unsung – role in how all women see themselves, their families and the rest of the world. Black women shape beauty trends, fashion, culture and the arts decades before being embraced by mainstream culture. We’ll explore where we’ve been and what’s ahead for the prescient and powerful women who shape the industry and play a pivotal role in evolving traditional beauty standards, and discuss Sundial Brands and Unilever’s ongoing commitment to women of color in our communities through R & D, Community Commerce and the New Voices Fund for Women of Color Entrepreneurs.
