The beauty industry has long been a vibrant and dynamic sector, yet it has not adequately represented the diverse voices that contribute to its richness. Latina professionals face significant challenges, including underrepresentation in leadership roles, a scarcity of Latina-owned brands in retail, and limited visibility in advertising and content creation. These barriers not only hinder the personal and professional growth of Latina beauty professionals but also deprive the industry of valuable perspectives and innovation. To address these disparities, we are a fiscal sponsor to support the launch of Latinas in Beauty, a dedicated initiative aimed at empowering Latina beauty professionals through tailored mentorship, professional development, entrepreneur incubators, executive development, and a supportive community.
