The organic hair care company Curls, well known as a natural hair-care brand, is commemorating Black History Month with a program to empower women entrepreneurs.
We love female entrepreneurship and we’re inspired by programs like CURLS Girls Rule the World, which use the power of social media and women’s stories to show other women that overcoming challenges and biases—even the intersection of racial and gender-based bias—is possible, and that resources are available to help women entrepreneurs triumph.
The featured event of the movement—the CURLS Girls Rule the World: Empowering Entrepreneurs Luncheon—will be held April 1; with celebrity expert mentors from business, media, entertainment, nonprofit and more.
We hope you’ll visit Madame Noire to check out the whole story, including a list of luncheon guests.
Madame Noire – In celebration of Black History Month, CURLS has launched CURLS Girls Rule the World, a signature program dedicated to empowering female entrepreneurship, and MadameNoire has jumped on board as the official media sponsor.
To kick-off the national campaign, CURLS will host over 100 girls of color from New York City and Westchester County between the ages of 12 and 24 at its CURLS Girls Rule the World: Empowering Entrepreneurs Luncheon on April 1, 2016 at Mist-Harlem in New York City. The event will expose girls to accomplished mentors in various industries so they can begin to learn how they can make their dreams come true.
“We are so proud of our CURLS Girls Rule the World program and our upcoming ‘Empowering Entrepreneurs Luncheon’ in New York City,” CURLS CEO and Founder Mahisha Dellinger stated. “Having a mentor and being exposed to business resources to help me accomplish my dreams was something I did not have when I was a young girl. Being able to provide girls with the opportunity to meet successful women, who will stay in touch with them, is truly giving the girls a leg up in realizing that whatever they dream is possible.”
